Yields1 ServingPrep Time15 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time30 mins

Banana curry might sound a little strange, but it's delicious. Thick banana slices are sauteed with coconut oil until extra sweet and caramelized. They're cooked with your favorite curry spices, cauliflower, sweet potato, and chickpeas for a healthy and filling vegetarian curry.

 2 tbsp coconut oil
 4 ripe bananas
 1 ripe bananas
 4 cloves garlic
 2 inch piece of ginger
 14 oz can coconut milk
 2 tbsp curry powder
 1 tsp sea salt
 4 cups chopped cauliflower
 1 medium sweet potato
 19 oz can chickpeas
 Cilantro
1

Heat 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick pan. Add the bananas, cut sides facing down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are well browned. Flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the pan.

2

Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil, the onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

3

Transfer the onion mix to your blender. Add ½ cup of the cooked bananas, the coconut milk, curry powder, and salt and blend on high speed until smooth.

Pour the sauce into a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, sweet potato, and chickpeas and bring the curry to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir the remaining caramelized bananas into the sauce then serve with cilantro sprinkled on top.
