Curried Bananas Recipes

BEST BANANA CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick pan. Add the bananas, cut sides facing down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are well browned. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the pan.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil, the onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the onion mix to your blender. Add ½ cup of the cooked bananas, the coconut milk, curry powder, and salt and blend on high speed until smooth.
• Pour the sauce into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, sweet potato, and chickpeas and bring the curry to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir the remaining caramelized bananas into the sauce then serve with cilantro sprinkled on top.

CURRIED CHICKEN STEAMED IN BANANA LEAVES

Steps:

• To make the sauce, heat the canola oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and turmeric and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the chilies and coconut milk, lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
• To make the chicken and vegetables, place the chicken breasts between sheets of wax paper and pound them lightly with the back of a small heavy skillet until they are slightly flattened and uniform in thickness. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and lay each half-breast in the center of a banana leaf. Place the diced potatoes and peas in a bowl, season lightly with salt and toss. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 of the vegetables and pour 1/4 of the sauce over the vegetables. Fold the sides of the banana leaves over the chicken breasts, then fold the top and bottom in toward the center. Secure with toothpicks or tie a very thin strip of banana leaf around each bundle.
• Fill the bottom of a steamer with water almost to, but not touching, the rack and bring to a boil. Place the chicken bundles on the rack (you may have to make 2 layers) and steam, covered, until the chicken breasts are cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. To eat, unwrap the leaves to expose the filling. (Do not eat the banana leaves.) Serve with rice on the side.
