Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 2 cups of coconut milk and 1/3 cup of sugar.
- Squeeze and measure 1 teaspoon of fresh lime juice.
- Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of coconut milk.
- Heat over medium heat until it starts to steam, but do not let it come to a boil.
- Add the 1/3 cup of sugar to the warm coconut milk.
- Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the 1 teaspoon of lime juice to the mixture and stir well. The lime juice will enhance the flavor by adding a subtle tang.
- Gently add the sliced bananas to the coconut milk mixture.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes, or until the bananas are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and do not stick to the bottom.
- Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature in bowls.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes or a few mint leaves for a fresh touch.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
- Opt for full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture.
- Adjust the sugar according to your sweetness preference. Some people might prefer a little less or a little more.
- Don't skip the lime juice as it adds a refreshing touch and balances the sweetness of the dish.
- Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or a pinch of cinnamon for an added layer of flavor.
