Instructions
-
Begin by heating two tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet with a heavy base over medium heat.
-
Once the oil is heated, add a pinch of salt, followed by half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, and a sprinkle of red pepper powder for a spicy kick.
-
Immediately add the sliced green bananas to the skillet and sauté them for about 2-3 minutes, allowing them to develop a slight brown color on the edges.
-
While the bananas are cooking, prepare a puree by blending together the tomatoes, onion, dried garlic, and fresh red chili.
-
Once the bananas are lightly browned, pour in the prepared puree along with the fresh lemon juice, ensuring everything is well combined.
-
Add half a cup of water to the skillet, cover it tightly with a lid, and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
-
Reduce the heat to medium and let the curry simmer for approximately 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the bananas to cook through.
-
After 10 minutes, uncover the skillet and stir in the creamy coconut milk, ensuring it’s well incorporated into the curry.
-
Cover the skillet once again and let the curry simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to fully develop.
-
Once the curry is rich and fragrant, serve it warm alongside steamed rice or noodles, garnishing with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor.
