Ingredients for Banana Curry

  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 4 tablespoons curry paste
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Onion
  • Chicken Breasts
  • Green Beans
  • Eggplant
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Chicken Stock Powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves

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.
  2. Toss until the bananas are coated. Remove from pan and set aside. Pour 2 tablespoons of lime juice over the reserved bananas.
  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry paste and 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pan.
  4. Cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
