Ingredients

5 green bananas (peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks)

2 tablespoons avocado oil

1 small onion (chopped)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

2 teaspoons curry powder

1/2 medium red bell pepper (chopped)

3 medium tomatoes chopped

1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)

1-2 vegan bouillon cubes

2 cups water

1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Peel the bananas; then cut them into two-inch pieces and place them inside salted water to avoid discoloration when they come into contact with air.

Place a saucepan over medium heat and add avocado oil to it. Once the oil is hot, add chopped onion and cook for about 2 minutes or until they are translucent and soft. Next, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and tomatoes and continue to cook for 2 more minutes.

Now, add curry powder, cayenne pepper, bouillon cube, and cilantro, and mix well. Cook for a minute or two until spices are fragrant.

Add the green bananas and mix well.

Pour water and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil and cover the saucepan with a lid. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 25 minutes or until the green bananas are tender.

Season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Enjoy!
