Questions

What should Banana in Coconut Milk look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 4: cook until the fruit is tender.

Is there a substitute for palm sugar in Banana in Coconut Milk?

The entry for Banana in Coconut Milk calls for 1/4 cup palm sugar, chopped. In its place: Dark or light brown sugar works, measure for measure.

How many calories are in Banana in Coconut Milk?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 210 calories, with 2 g protein, 32 g carbohydrate and 10 g fat, plus 3 g fiber and 150 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Banana in Coconut Milk?

It is not a good candidate. Keep Banana in Coconut Milk covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days. Chilled and set desserts lose their texture in the freezer.

Can I halve or double Banana in Coconut Milk?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the bananas drops from 4 to 2; doubled, it is 8. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
