Banana Bell or Blossom
Banana Bell or Blossom is the flower of the banana plant. The tough outer leaves are discarded and the inner part finely shredded. This is then soaked in water with lemon juice to prevent browning. It has a crunchy texture and nutty flavour and is used in salads. The fresh blossom is much better than the canned version in terms of taste and texture.

Hot Tips
Coconut milk/cream
It doesn't take that much effort to get the beautiful sweet mellow taste of fresh coconut. Try and source a coconut grater from an Indian shop or grate it yourself. Crack open a coconut, prize the meat from the shell and peel the brown skin away. Pop small chunks into the food processor or grate on a sharp grater.
