Method

  1. 1 Choose bananas that are just ripe, still slightly firm so they don't fall apart when cooked.
  2. 2 Cut the bananas into diagonal slices and soak them in diluted salt water to prevent browning.
  3. 3 Simmer the coconut milk with pandan leaves, palm sugar, and salt, making sure not to let it boil vigorously.
  4. 4 Add the bananas and simmer for 6 minutes, until they become translucent.
  5. 5 Adjust the seasoning to balance the salt and sweetness, then serve.

With an appliance

  • Oven 30 min

    Replace step 4: arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bowl, pour in the hot coconut milk, cover tightly, and bake on the middle rack of the oven at 160 degrees for 10 minutes; the gentle heat around the bowl prevents the coconut milk from sticking to the bottom. Keep step 5 as is to adjust the seasoning.
