Bananas are a tropical fruit and you make think they are out of season, but not in crazy Houston! I picked these bananas from my father's banana tree. Since these are home-grown, I decided they deserved a special recipe, so I invented this curry. It is a surprisingly nice combination of sweet, salty and spicy. I hope you enjoy it.
Sautee in a large pan:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups cooked lentils
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon tumeric
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 small hot peppers
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add 1/2 cup water and 3 to 4 very ripe bananas. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Simmer 20 minutes, then add fresh or frozen peas. Simmer until peas are soft. Serve over rice and garnish with coconut.
