Kodappan cutlets / banana blossom cutlets
#indiankitchen
When i told my family that i am going to make Kodappan Cutlets for dinner, they were surprise. This is something that we have never head off, as from our childhood we have eaten Kodappan as a side dish vegetable along with Rice. So i said, let me try out, i am sure if i mix this nutritious vegetable with pulses it will definitely give a great taste. Banana Blossom with Split chickpea is a super delicious, highly nutritious and is power packed with all vitamins, fibers and proteins. Not all the Banana flowers are suitable for cooking as some of them are bitter.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Soak the Split chick peas (ChanaDal) for 8 hours
* Step 2
Finely chop the Blossoms and soak it in cold water mixed with 1 teaspoon turmeric and salt.
* Step 3
In a grinder, add the chanadal (reserve 1 tbsp for later), ginger, chilli powder, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, rough chopped curry leaves. Coarse grind it and set a side
* Step 4
Finely chop the shallots.
* Step 5
Drain the blossom and squeeze any excess water.
Add to it the shallots, turmeric powder, salt, curry leave, coarse ground mixture and the reserved dal. Use your hand to give a good hand mix.
* Step 6
Shape it as per your desire. I have given them oval shape. Now let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes in fridge.
* Step 7
Tip: To make it more crispy and crunchy, fry it second time, as i have done it. Serve it with Ketchup or Green chilli coconut chutney. Best as healthy tea time snack or for lunch box.
