Banana Curry Sauce

Wife with the Knife
This Banana Curry Sauce is a creamy, sweet, and savoury delight that perfectly balances tropical flavours with a hint of spice. Made with ripe bananas, creamy coconut milk, and a touch of yellow curry powder, it’s brightened by a splash of fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish. The addition of mayonnaise adds a luscious texture, while sugar and seasonings create the perfect harmony of flavours. This versatile sauce is ideal for drizzling over grilled chicken, seafood, or roasted vegetables, or as a unique dip to elevate any dish with its exotic twist.

Equipment

  • Blender or Food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp yellow curry powder
  • 4 tbsp coconut milk
  • ¼-½ tsp turmeric (optional, see notes)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • freshly cracked pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add all your prepared ingredients in to a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve alongside your choice of chicken, seafood, vegetables or as a dip option for fondue.

Notes

  • Turmeric has a slightly bitter, earthy flavour, so start with ¼ teaspoon and taste before adding more. It will enhance the golden color and complement the curry powder without overpowering the banana and coconut flavours.
  • Storage: This banana curry sauce can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days
  • Freezing Tip: If you have leftovers, this sauce can be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month. Just thaw and stir well before using.
  • Texture Tip: For a smoother consistency, use very ripe bananas, as they’ll blend more easily.
  • Flavour Variations: Add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes for a spicy kick, or a touch of ginger for extra warmth.
  • Vegan Option: Use vegan mayo and ensure the coconut milk is full-fat for a creamy, plant-based alternative.
  • Serve Suggestions: We often serve this banana curry sauce alongside fondue, making it a family favourite. It’s also delicious with grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables.
