Dessert

Red Bananas with Cardamom

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Look for a salmon-hued flesh. This means that the banana is ripe.
You can eat this banana by itself, but these are great for baking.
Red bananas are a great source of Vitamin C and amino acids.
These are also known as Cuban Reds, Jamaican Reds, or Indro Bananas.

Directions

Peel bananas and cut in half lengthwise. Set aside.
In 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Cook jaggery in butter, stirring gently, until dissolved.
Stir in bananas, lime juice and ground cardamom. Reduce heat.
Cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bananas are tender.
Scoop ice cream into 4 bowls.
Spoon bananas and sauce over ice cream.
