Cassia flower bud salad (Burmese: မယ်ဇလီဖူးသုပ်; pronounced [mɛ̀zəlì pʰú θoʊʔ]; also known as mezali phu thoke) is a festive Burmese salad traditionally served during the full moon day of Tazaungmon, often as an satuditha offering.[1]
The salad's base ingredients includes freshly picked Siamese cassia flower buds, boiled potatoes, sliced onions, peanuts, sesame seed, garlic, seasoned with salt, oil, sesame seeds, and lemon juice.
A common Burmese tradition during the full moon day of Tazaungmon is for families to pick Siamese cassia flower buds and prepare the buds, either as a salad or a soup.[2] The flower buds are considered to have curative medicinal properties.[3]
