Mochar chop or banana blossom croquette is a delicacy from the land of bengal. It is also known as banana flower croquette which is an authentic recipe of bengal. Banana flower is known as mocha in bengali which is very unique in nature. Even when we talk about mocha, we (bengalis) become sentimental as this vegetable is being cooked from ages in various forms and somewhere indicates the bengali culture and tradition. In many bengali novels and poems, we found the mention of mocha, even in the writings of rabindranath tagore. Hence, whenever there is an authentic meal, we often see mocha makes it to our menu. Mochar chop is a truly vegetarian recipe which does not have any onion or garlic and i have never heard someone cooking mocha with onion and garlic. Mochar chop is a good party snack or starter item which you can keep ready previous day and next day fry them and serve hot.
