Banana in Coconut Cream/ kluay buat Chee



This delightful warm dessert is very simple dish but very popular among Thai people. It’s starchy; it’s sweet; it’s creamy. And It is easy to make….well…you will love it!!

Ingredients:
- Bananas, peeled, cut lengthwise and sliced into 3in chunks 
- Coconut milk
- Palm sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Salt
3 cups 
4 cups
1/4 cup
1/2 cup
1 teaspoon

Preparation:
  1. In a pot, bring coconut milk, palm sugar, granulated sugar and salt to the boil. This liquid should taste sweet but not sickly sweet, followed by a little bit of saltiness to balance it out.
  2. Once it has achieved the desired taste, add the banana pieces and bring back to the boil. Correct the seasoning again, because Thai bananas are more sour than Cavendish bananas. Allow the banana pieces to soften and to take on the flavor of the coconut milk (about 10 minutes). Turn off the heat.
  3. Serve in a bowl, hot or at room temperature.
Tip: Some people prefer their bananas really soft, while others prefer them a little hard (which means you will have to choose ripe or not-so-ripe bananas according to your preference). If you choose hard bananas, you will have to cook them in the coconut sauce for a little longer (15-20 minutes).
