Thai Bananas in Coconut Milk
A comforting and simple Thai dessert featuring ripe bananas gently simmered in a sweet, fragrant coconut milk broth. The pandan leaves infuse the milk with a subtle floral aroma, and a pinch of salt balances the sweetness, making it a delightful treat.
🧂 Ingrédients

- 4 tbsp Granulated sugar(Adjust to your preferred sweetness. Palm sugar can be used for a more traditional flavor.)
- 1/4 tsp Salt(Enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.)
