- 2 medium Ripe bananas(peeled and sliced)
- 400 ml Coconut milk(full-fat)
- 1 medium Onion(finely chopped)

👨🍳 Instructies

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the curry powder and turmeric powder, cooking for about 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the salt and chopped fresh chili (if using).
- 5
Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering coconut milk mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Avoid over-stirring to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

Add the sliced ripe bananas to the pot and gently stir them in. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the bananas are heated through and slightly softened. Be careful not to mash the bananas.

Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Serve the banana and fish curry hot, garnished with fresh coriander. It is traditionally served with rice or boiled root vegetables like taro or cassava.
