Ingredients

  • 3-4 plantains, sliced in rounds
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves
  • 1-2 cups of coconut milk

Directions

1

Combine all ingredients, except the coconut milk, in a heavy saucepan and stir.

2

Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and simmer over low heat until the plantains absorbed the milk and are very tender.

3

It takes a while for them to get soft; give them about the same time you would need for cooking potatoes.

4

You can add more coconut milk if you desire.

5

Serve hot and try with fish or curries.
