If the banana stem is very fibrous we normally clean, chop the stem into coins and soak the vegetable in a pot of buttermilk (2 tbsp yogurt) or 1/2 lime juice for half hour before preparing any recipe this way the vegetable will soften faster.

For salads use lime juice to soften it adds flavor and sour taste, for curries soak in butter milk (2 tbsp yogurt diluted in water).

Banana stem chopped into coins can be used in smoothies or added in sambar (lentil soup).

Banana stem chopped into tiny pieces can be used in salads, curries or stir fries.
