Ingredients

  • 7 Thai bananas see notes
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 3 tbsp palm sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 Pandan leaves optional, tied in a knot

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a pot filled with water over medium heat. Allow the water to boil and then add the unpeeled bananas to the boiling water, let them cook for 10 minutes. This method prevents them from becoming mushy.
  2. Transfer to a sieve or colander, and let excess water drain. Let the bananas cool down to room temperature.
  3. Peel and slice the bananas into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Take a pot and set it over medium heat. Add coconut milk, palm sugar, salt, and the pandan leaves. Let the mix gently simmer and stir until the palm sugar dissolves.
  5. Once the palm sugar has completely dissolved into the coconut milk mixture, carefully add the sliced bananas into the pot. Gently stir the bananas to coat them evenly with the sweetened coconut milk. Serve immediately.
