This Swahili dish made from plantains is a delicious accompaniment for any curry dish.
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. When the plantains are hot and beginning to become tender, add coconut milk little by little, stirring to allow it to be absorbed. Simmer until plantains are tender. Add a little water if necessary to achieve a thick sauce.
