👨‍🍳 조리법

1
If using meat, brown it in a large pot or Dutch oven with 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Remove meat and set aside.
2
Add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil to the pot. Sauté the chopped onions until softened and translucent.
3
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
5
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a sauce.
6
Return the meat to the pot (if using). Add the unripe banana chunks and the water or broth. Season with salt and pepper.
7
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the bananas are tender and the sauce has thickened. This can take about 30-40 minutes.
8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
