Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the bananas into halves lengthwise and then cut each half into thirds, creating medium-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for about 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Add the brown sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves into the butter and curry mixture.
Carefully place the banana pieces in the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the coconut milk. Gently stir the skillet to coat the bananas in the creamy sauce.
Season with a pinch of salt and continue simmering for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy!
