Mocha Chingri

#ws1 Mocha chingri is a Bengali delicacy, cooked with banana flowers and prawns. Banana flowers are rich in antioxidants, fiber, proteins and unsaturated fatty acids and are a good source of vitamin E and flavonoids. This is available almost all the year round in India but in winter the taste is very good.
