👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Prepare the banana flower: Clean the outer leaves and the stamen. Slice the tender inner part very thinly. Soak the sliced banana flower in water with a little salt or lemon juice for about 15-20 minutes to prevent browning and remove bitterness. Drain well.
- 2
In a pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
- 3
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, curry leaves, and green chilies. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in turmeric powder, chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- 5
Add the drained banana flower slices to the pot. Mix well with the spices and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the banana flower softens slightly.
- 6
Pour in the thick coconut milk and add salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- 7
Gently add the fish cubes to the simmering curry. Do not stir vigorously to avoid breaking the fish. Cover and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the banana flower is tender.
- 8
Adjust seasoning if needed. The curry should be thick and creamy.
- 9
Serve hot with rice or roshi (Maldivian flatbread).
