I had a lot of bananas that were going bad, and I didn't want to make banana bread. My roommate had a jar of curry paste that was unused and, to use his words, "following [him] like an albatross." So, I decided to make banana chicken curry. There are tons of recipes out there, but this is what I did:
Banana Chicken Curry
4 bananas, chopped
4 chicken thighs (breasts are fine, but I just felt like using thighs), chopped
1 onion
Garlic
Sweet peppers
4 tablespoons of mild curry paste
1/4 cup of water
Brown the garlic and onions; then throw in the chicken until browned. Throw in the peppers and curry paste and add water. Stir and cover. When the curry is sauce-like (as opposed to lumpy), throw in the bananas and cook until it's of the desired consistency.
Some recipes include coconut milk or yogurt, but I didn't find them necessary; I think the yogurt would add a bit of sourness, though it would thicken the sauce. The bananas add a sweetness which infuses the curry, which I kind of liked. In summary, the interwebs are right, and this recipe does work.
