The banana is one of the important tropical fruits available all year round and the plant (or herb to be exact) is a long established symbol of prosperity in Hindu religious ceremonies and social events.
Mocha banana spandex, kala (the ripened banana fruit), and the thoor (the tender white inner sheath of the stem) are eaten for their flavour and nutritional value. Kanch kala (plaintain) is always eaten cooked. Kala patha (banana leaves) are used as India’s traditional and environmentally friendly disposable plates.
The ancient Riga Vedas manuscripts dedicate an entire section on the preparation of green banana. The outer sheath of the stem is also cut and made into artistic boat-shaped receptacles in which fruits and flowers are placed and then launched on lakes and ponds as offerings to the gods. Thoor and mocha based dishes are West Bengal delicacies.
There are libraries of recipes in India using the banana plant, the preparation of which epitomizes the subtlety of Bengali cooking.
