How to clean Banana flower (mocha):
Mocha is the flower or spadix of the banana tree.Oil your hands before preparing the mocha.Peel off one leaf at a time from the banana flower. remove the long stick-like immature bananas. Cut off the tip of the top portion bearing the stylus and discard it. Chop what left and soak in a bowl of water.

Continue peeling the leaves of mocha and chop them until you come to the portion of the spadix, which has barely any fruit. Discard this.

When the entire mocha has been cut into pieces, drain the water in which the mocha pieces have been soaking.

Place the mocha in a suitable sized pan, cover with water and boil for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the fire and drain the excess water.

Squeeze the mocha with your hands and get rid of the excess water. The mocha is now ready for cooking.
