Banana Stew

October 6, 2014 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

When I joined NIIT, I used to stay at my friend’s place as a paying guest. Aunt prepares so many delicious food. The beef stew she prepares is just too good. One day she served me a white stew with aappam. It was so surprised and excited to taste this stew. But I never asked the recipe.

Few months back I happened to see a video which one my friend shared in his profile. It was his mom preparing a banana stew for a TV program. (link is here)

As told to me by friends, this recipe is a specialty in Trivandrum (Kerala)

Sharing the recipe here. But a slight variation. I have added a tempering over the stew. And it takes this stew to a different level

You need

  • Indian banana (Ethapazham or Nenthrapazham) – 2 big
  • water – 1 cup
  • Sugar – 2 tbsp
  • Salt a pinch
  • Coconut milk – 1/2 cup
  • Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp or 2 cardamom crushed well
  • Ghee – 1 tsp
  • Shallots(small onions) – 2, skinned cleaned and thinly sliced

You have to

  • Peel and slice the bananas to thin discs
  • Now take a thick bottom vessel and add these slices along with 1/2 cup water and bring to boil
  • Cook till the bananas are cooked and it is soft. Don’t mash with spoon
  • Add sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir
  • Now add coconut milk and allow to boil.
  • Remove from flame
  • Heat ghee in a small pan and add the sliced shallots
  • Once it is turned golden brown, pour this over the stew.
  • Serve with appam or have as it is

 

Enjoy.

Notes:

  • If you don’t like to add onions, you can skip it. Add 1 tsp ghee before removing the stew from flame
  • This goes very well with puttu (Thanks to my friend G )
