Plantains in Coconut Milk
Zanzibar, off Africa’s eastern coast, is called “the spice island”, famous for its cloves and vanilla. Zanzibar is the center of the Swahili civilization. The Swahili word for plantains is ndizi. This Swahili dish made from plantains is a delicious accompaniment for any curry dish.
What you need
* four or more plantains (they don’t have to be completely ripe)
* one-half teaspoon mild curry powder
* one-half teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
* a few cloves or a pinch of powdered cloves (optional)
* salt to taste
* piece of butter (optional)
* one to two cups of coconut milk (canned is okay)
What you do
* Peel plantains. Cut plantains into slices, or into quarters by cutting once lengthwise and once across the middle. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except coconut milk. Heat slowly, stir gently, and add coconut milk little by little until all is absorbed. Simmer until plantains are tender. Add a little water if necessary.
