Banana Tofu Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Use bananas that are ripe but not mushy.
• Saute the onion in a bit of white wine.
• Heat the coconut milk over a medium-high flame.
• Add the spices, coconut, and raisins and stir thoroughly.
• Reduce heat to medium, add the bananas, and continue to cook until the bananas are hot (stir lightly so they don't disintegrate.) Add the tofu, and milk as needed to thin out the sauce.
• As soon as the tofu is hot this is ready to serve.
• Heating and stirring beyond that point can turn this into a tasty mush.
• Serve with basmati rice, with a side of nuts, raisins, and chutney.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, wrap in 4-5 sheets of kitchen paper, put on a plate and put something heavy over the top, like a wooden chopping board, or a tray with a few tins on it. Leave for 20 mins to drain the excess moisture from the tofu.
• Mix the cornflour, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Unravel the tofu from the paper, cut in half through the centre, then cut into triangles, cubes or strips.
• Toss the tofu pieces in the spiced cornflour to coat all over. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the tofu for 2-4 mins on each side until golden, crunchy and browned at the edges. Smaller cubes will take 2 mins each side, larger triangles will take 4 mins. Cook in batches if you need to, adding a little more oil if the pan gets dry.
• Drain the cooked tofu on kitchen paper and season with a pinch more salt before serving.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable stock in pan, add half the curry paste and half of the bananas.
• Toss until coated and remove from the pan, pour over the lime juice.
• Add remaining curry paste and onions into the pan. Cook until onions are soft. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown. Stir in the vegetables, water and stock powder.
• Add coconut cream and simmer until just thickened.
• Add banana mixture. Mix through the remaining bananas and allow to heat through.
• Sprinkle with the basil and serve with rice.

Steps:

• Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, sugar, ginger, chili powder, cinnamon, and black pepper. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the curry paste and pressed garlic. Cook for about 1 minute. Pour in the tomato sauce and yogurt, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the diced banana, and simmer gently for 3 minutes. Mix in chopped tomatoes, and continuing to simmer 1 minute more. Stir in the coconut flakes just before serving.

Steps:

• Place the onions, garlic, tomatoes, and ginger together in a saucepan and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion has softened.
• Add the dried spices, thyme, jalapeno peppers and water (or stock) and simmer over a low heat for about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the tofu and cook for a further 8 minutes. Serve with boiled rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes, season with seasoned salt and fry until golden on all sides, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Remove to paper towels, and set aside.
• Melt butter or margarine in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until tender. Stir in coconut milk, curry powder, salt, pepper and cilantro. Return the tofu to the skillet. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a lrg saucepan. Add onion & saute gently over low-heat till softened & translucent, but not carmelized.
• Soak the raisins in a sml amt of hot water for 2-3 min to plump them. Drain & add to the onion mixture w/the apple & salt. Stir in the flour + curry powder & cook for 3-4 min, stirring.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat & gradually stir in the coconut milk & water a little at a time. Return to the heat & cook gently, stirring till thickened.
• Add bananas & continue cooking gently over low heat for about 6-7 minutes. Add the eggs to the curry, just to heat through. Serve immediately w/boiled rice & a sml dish of mango chutney.
• *Note Re Servings* ~ I entered this recipe as a 6 serving side-dish per its intent, but it seems likely 4 servings would be more realistic if served as a main-course.

Steps:

• Brown the onion in the butter, then add the curry powder and fry for for a few more minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients, except for the bananas, cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Halve the bananas, and pack them down into the sauce, and continue to simmer with the lid on till be bananas become soft, (about 5 minutes).
• Serve on a bed of rice, garnished with the hard boild eggs.
