Banana stem is very nutritious with lots of medicinal values in it. Having banana stem in our food is good for kidneys. Banana stem juice dissolves kidney stones. Once a bunch of bananas harvested, the tree is cut away. outer layer of the banana stem is peeled away, till you get tender inner stem. The stem looks hard but after cooking it will be smooth. In some areas it is not easily available in market. I use to prepare this recipe regularly. It's preparation is difficult for beginners, but method is very easy. This curry goes well with rice. You can also prepare chutney, and in combination chickpeas etc.,
