BUTTER BANANA

THE HIDDEN TASTE OF ROASTED NENDRAN BANANA

A VERY SIMPLE, SUPERB DISH

Ingredients:

     1)    Fully ripe Nendran bananas – 2 Nos.

     2)    Powdered sugar (icing sugar) – 1 teaspoon

     3)    Butter – 1 tablespoon

To cook:

          Peel the bananas. If the bananas are small, cut lengthwise into halves. If they are large, cut lengthwise into 3 or 4 slices. Set a flat pan on high heat and tip in the butter. Gently place the banana slices side by side, taking care not to crowd the pan.

          Turn down the heat and let the bananas cook and roast slowly. Turn gently after 5 minutes and dust a little bit of powdered sugar on the roasted side. Another 5 minutes and your delicious snack is done. Dust a little more sugar if you so wish. Enjoy warm, by itself or with breakfast or tea.

Notes:

     1)    For beauty, it is good to make butter banana in a non-stick pan. For even better taste and health however, you might prefer to use a cast-iron pan.

     2)    The riper the banana (with blackening skin), the better the taste as well as the medicinal property. You also need less sugar or no sugar at all.

Tip:

          Please use organic Nendran bananas whenever possible.
