03 — Method

Peel the green bananas under running water so they don’t stain your fingers, then cut into even chunks about 3 cm (1 in) long.
Thinly slice the onions and remove the germ from the garlic before chopping it, so you’re ready to start cooking.
Heat the oil in the Dutch oven and cook the onions and garlic until translucent, then sprinkle with turmeric and stir for 1 minute.
Add the banana chunks and coat them in the spiced onions, then pour in the coconut milk and enough hot water to almost cover.
Tuck in the whole chili, salt lightly and simmer covered for 25 minutes until the bananas are soft and the sauce is thick.
Remove the chili, check the seasoning and serve hot alongside grilled fish, or on its own as a comforting meal.
