Equipment

  • Large Pan

Ingredients
  

For the Curry

  • 2 pieces ripe plantains Choose plantains that are yellow with a few black spots for the perfect sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil This adds a lovely tropical flavor and helps sauté the plantains.
  • 1 cup coconut milk Rich and creamy, it balances the spices.
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder A warm blend of spices reminiscent of the Caribbean.
  • Salt To taste; adjust based on your preference for seasoning.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Begin by peeling the two ripe plantains, slicing off both ends and gently removing the skin. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the sliced plantains to the pan, sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon of curry powder and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
  • Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk, mix thoroughly, and season with salt. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until plantains are tender.
  • Taste the curry, adjust seasoning, and serve hot. Pair with basmati rice, coconut rice, or naan.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe plantains and avoid high heat while sautéing.
