Mocha Chingri Manohara Recipe is Bengali style Shrimps Stuffed Banana Flower Kofta Curry. Banana flower is one of the natural sources of high iron.

Here I have used the non-fried version with shallow frying the koftas on kuzhi paniyaram pan. Serve mouth watering Mocha Chingri Recipe (Shrimps Stuffed Banana Flower Curry) with Jeera rice or Kesar Pulao.
