The inner stem should not be too big or too small. If it’s too big the it will be more mature and highly fibrous. It becomes difficult to cut such banana stem.

HOW TO CUT – Make slits on all sides of the outer layer of stem and discard this layer.

Continue this step of removing the outer layer until you reach the inner pith. There may be 3 to 4 or  5 such layers .There will also be a thin layer of outer skin attached to inner pith, which has to be peeled off .

Now slice the inner core into roundels .Simply pull out the fibres by rubbing the slices in circular motion.

While chopping them, keep the slices one above the other and chop them fine as per your requirement.

Important – Put these chopped banana stem into tamarind water or lemon water or buttermilk until you use them.
