When it's cooked properly take it out and grind it thoroughly using a blender until you get a soft mix. Then boil some potatoes, peel the skin and mash it and mix it with some salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Saute crushed ginger-garlic till it becomes soft. Now add chopped onion, green chillies and curry leaves and saute well by adding salt (Note you have also put salt to the banana blossom and to the potato) When it becomes soft add chillie powder and mix well. Now add cooked banana blossom and mix well. Add the mashed potato to the mixture and mix it well. You can make the cutlet tastier by adding little bread crumbs while mixing.
