Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 clove garlic, sliced
• 1 (14 ounce) jar butter beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 tablespoons oil, divided, or as needed
• 2 large bananas - peeled, sliced lengthwise, and quartered
• 4 tablespoons Thai yellow curry paste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop in a cumin seed to test the heat; if it sizzles, it is hot enough. Add cumin seeds and cook until they begin to crackle, about 1 minute. Add bananas and sliced garlic. Cook until bananas are browned on both sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer bananas to a bowl.

Step 2

Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook onions until soft and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and butter beans and cook until butter beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add bananas and curry paste. Stir thoroughly, but try not to mash the bananas. Pour in coconut milk and cook on medium-low heat until thickened, about 15 minutes. Add cilantro and cook for 5 minutes more.
