Tips Medium-hot Serves 4 as part of a Thai meal Preparation and cooking time: 1 hour This is a wonderful Thai dish which combines the deliciously rich and creamy flavour of the banana flower with crunchy cashews nuts, the heat of the roasted chilli and all the other ingredients. Banana flowers are actually the buds of the banana plant, which are soaked and shredded for use in salads. They are also available preserved from Asian grocery shops - soak in cold water for 10 minutes and rinse before use. You can use shreded green pawpaw or carrot for banana flower substition.
