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.

SPICY BANANA CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, sugar, ginger, chili powder, cinnamon, and black pepper. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the curry paste and pressed garlic. Cook for about 1 minute. Pour in the tomato sauce and yogurt, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the diced banana, and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Mix in chopped tomatoes, and continuing to simmer 1 minute more. Stir in the coconut flakes just before serving.

CURRIED BANANA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bananas, shallot, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken chicken broth and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour the curry mixture, rice vinegar, honey, and salt into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the curry moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the curry right in the cooking pot.

CURRIED FISH WITH BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut the fish fillets in half crosswise and slice the bananas into pieces that closely match size of the fish (see photo).
• Thoroughly combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of the curry powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and spread the mixture on a plate or sheet of wax paper.
• Lightly press the fish fillets into the flour mixture, shake off the excess and set aside in a single layer.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
• Once the butter melts, add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, swirl the pan to coat and add the bananas, cut side down.
• Sauté the bananas until lightly caramelized, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes per side (don't overcook). Season with a pinch of salt and transfer to a serving platter.
• Return the pan to the stove, increase the heat slightly and add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, swirl the pan to coat.
• As soon as the butter starts to sizzle, add the fish fillets and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on the first side.
• Carefully turn the fillets over and continue cooking until the fish flakes easily, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer. Arrange the fish fillets on top of the plated bananas.
• Working quickly, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once the butter melts, add the grapefruit juice and heat until bubbly, about 1 minute.
• Spoon the pan sauce over the fish, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
