Prepare the banana blossom. Cut off the tough end and remove the mature outer layers. Slice the banana blossom into quarters and remove the firm core. Include the small banana fingers if desired.

Soak in water. Place the sliced banana blossom and banana fingers in a bowl of water while preparing to prevent discoloration.

Boil until tender. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the banana blossom and banana fingers. Cook until soft and tender.

Drain and cool. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a container. Allow to cool until comfortable to handle.

Chop and squeeze. Chop the boiled banana blossom into small, thin pieces. Transfer to a strainer and press firmly to remove excess liquid.

Prepare the mixture. Place the chopped banana blossom in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and flour. Mix well.

Add the eggs. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then pour them into the mixture. Mix until everything is well combined.

Shape the patties. Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop a spoonful of the mixture into the pan and flatten gently into a patty shape.

Fry until golden brown. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and firm. Carefully flip and fry the other side until cooked through.

Drain and serve. Transfer the cooked patties to a strainer or paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve warm with rice or use as burger patties.
