I’ve been using green banana flour in bakes and have a tea with the banana peel every night but I never would have thought about using it in curries! That’s such a great idea!
Hi Lucy – Hope you will give this a try and report back with a rating and review on how it turned out. Enjoy and thanks for popping in
When we were children, we were told we shouldn’t eat green bananas because they’d give us tummy ache. So I always wait for my bananas to turn yellow before eating them. You learn something new every day!
I’m totally going to make this banana curry some day. It sounds delicious. Not just yet, as we’re in the middle of a heatwave and I’m only able for salads! I’ll let you know how it goes Esme.
Hi Gloria, WOW that will be awesome if you can test this out and if possible give this recipe a rating and a review. Hope you enjoy your salads and the heatwave not overly bad. We had one about 2-3 weeks ago and had temps up to 44C not fun.
