Bananarama
by CourtneySherwood on Apr.17, 2009, under Uncategorized
I’m allegedly eating bananas again, after forgoing the fruit for more than a year, but since announcing the end of my boycott a month ago I haven’t managed to actually eat one. So let’s see if we can remedy that 5:30 p.m. Sunday at my place (1201 N.E. 21st. Ave.).
The recipe: Spicy Banana Curry with basmati rice.
This is what we need to feed four people. If a lot of folks are coming, we should double it. I’ve doubled the amounts needed:
- basmati rice – enough for everyone who shows up. – Dan
- 2/3 cup sunflower seed oil -Lena
- 4 onions, diced – Courtney and Ben
- 1 cup curry powder - Mike
- 3 tablespoons ground cumin – Lena
- 8 teaspoons ground turmeric - Courtney and Ben
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt – Courtney and Ben
- 2 teaspoons white sugar – Courtney and Ben
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger – Courtney and Ben
- 2 teaspoons chili powder -Lena
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon – Courtney and Ben
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper – Courtney and Ben
- 8 teaspoons curry paste - Lena
- 16 cloves garlic, pressed – Courtney and Ben
- 2 (10 ounce) cans tomato sauce – Courtney and Ben
- 1 1/3 cup plain yogurt — soy yogurt, ideally – Mike
- 4 bananas, diced – Courtney and Ben
- 6 tomatoes, chopped (I suspect 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes would work just as well) – Dan
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut – Courtney and Ben
If my blender cooperates, maybe we can also have banana smoothies?
- 3 cups vanilla or plain yogurt (soy yogurt, of course) – Mike
- 2 – 2/3 cup orange juice – Lena
- 8 ripe bananas, cut into chunks – Courtney and Ben
- 4 cups halved strawberries or other berries (fresh or frozen) – Courtney and Ben
- 8 teaspoons honey – Courtney and Ben

Yum! I think Brian’s actually excited about this one!
And if needed, we can bring both a rice cooker and a food processor (for the smoothies).
Cheers,

Also, I have all of these spices. Just let me know what you don’t have.

Great, Lena! I’d love to make use of your rice cooker. I have a food processor, so no need for that.
I’m going to have to go through my cupboard after I get home – posting boldly from the office today – and once I do that I’ll be able to share which ingredients I have and which I need.

OK, I’ve doubled the amounts for all the recipes, because I’m not sure that four servings is going to be enough.
I do have rice, just not basmati, so if jasmine sounds good enough we can provide that. I also have canola and olive oils, if nobody wants to spring for sunflower seed oil.

Hey Courtney,
Do you know what kind of curry paste we need?

The recipe is not specific, and I’m not sure what the curry paste options are.
