How to Make Banana Curry

  1. Heat 2 cups vegetable stock in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the curry paste and 2 ripe, sliced bananas.

  4. Cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.

  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and peas), 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon of chicken stock powder.
  7. Add 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Gently stir in the reserved banana mixture.
  9. Add the remaining 2 ripe bananas, sliced. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  10. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh basil leaves and serve hot over rice.
