Greetings Everyone,
Here is a recipe for Banana Porridge.
Ingredients
3 green bananas
1 pt (550ml) water
1/2 pt (275ml) coconut milk
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 tbs wholemeal flour
milk or water
raw cane sugar
Method
Peel the green bananas by slicing off both ends then splitting them lengthways cutting through to the flesh. Prise off the skins. Grate or blend the bananas in an electric blender.
Beat in the water and coconut milk until the mixture is smooth. Pour into a saucepan.
Over a gentle heat, bring the pan to the boil and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes until the mixture is cooked. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and the wholmeal flour which should be blended thin paste with a little milk or water. Stir while the porridge thickens and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Serve thickly sprinkled with raw cane sugar.

I've made this a few times now I added the sugar to it while it was cooking and it seems quite fresh. Also it's much lighter than the porridge from the shop. Has anyone got any tips on how to make it heavier if that makes sense?

Sounds yummy maat. I may make this for the family this weekend although I would probably use brown sugar instead of raw cane sugar. As for making it heavier, possibly adding a little cornmeal to the flour?

@Incognito: Well I didn't mean that kind it's the poridge from caribbean restaurants. The smooth porridge mmmm
@Soulstarr: Good idea I'll try it next time. The amount should serve 4 adults but it feeds us five. Let us know how you get on and what you think of it.
@Shemsi En Tehuti: LOL don't you guys have anywhere they sell this or even cornmeal porridge? It tastes really good.

Isn't it just I don't think yellow ones can be used. I would imagine them to mash out too much before they got to the fire So.....can you make it or know anyone that does?
