  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ⅔ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ⅓ teaspoon curry powder

Optional: Add in some chickpeas or tofu for some added protein

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, then add the bananas and caramelize them until they turn a rich, golden brown. Set them aside.
  2. Next, pour the cream and spice mixture into the same pan, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Bring it to a gentle boil and let it thicken.
  3. Once the sauce reaches your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  4. Serve the caramelized bananas over your chosen dish, drizzled with the warm, spiced sauce. Enjoy!

BENEFITS

Bananas are a nutrient-dense fruit packed with fiber, potassium, and natural sugars, making them an excellent source of quick energy. Their high potassium content supports heart health and helps regulate blood pressure, while their fiber aids digestion and promotes gut health. Bananas also contain vitamin B6, which plays a key role in brain function and mood regulation. Plus, their natural sweetness makes them a great alternative to refined sugars in recipes!
