Disappointing banana stew!

I saw this recipe on a Mallu site, (dont remember which one coz it was many years before) and don't remember if I had tried it then, but decided to make this today. And the result? Dang and double dang! The coconut milk doesnt lend its flavour to the bananas. It is just like we steam the plain bananas! Pretty disappointed! To top it my Mom on seeing it says that the coconut milk mixture looks like an infant's vomitus! Eeewwww.

Ripe Nenthran (Nenthram) Banana (Ethapazham) -2
Coconut -1/2
Sugar -3 Table spoon
Ghee - 1/2 Table spoon
Elaichi - 3
Water - 1/2 cup


Preparation Method
1. First take first cocunut milk and keep apart. Then take the second coconut milk.
2. Cook together sliced bananas, second coconut milk, water and sugar until banana is cooked properly.
3. Add first cocont milk, just boil once. Add powdered elaichi and ghee; and serve hot.
(Can be served chill too)

Folks, this isnt to disappoint you and NO my mother doesnt have a penchant for likening good food to bad stuff;)))))

Some of you might like the taste of the stew, go ahead and be brave...try this out;)))

Try creamy milk and honey instead of cocunut :) Add some dates and raisins.
