Banana Stem Cleaning

Always remove the fibre. After removing the outer skin, chop and add the Banana stem in thin buttermilk to avoid discoloration. 

What is the preferred curd texture for more kootu?

It is totally up to individual taste. Some prefer a little sour curd for sure, but I generally use fresh curd that is not too sour.

Yes, it might take additional time for cooking

Curd - when to add?

Always add the whisked curd after the kootu is cool to avoid curdling
