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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
