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 addedthe 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?

Maat - unfortunately in these times the best you'll get is Quaker Oats....the instructions come on the box 
Their knives and their guns could not hold me, their drinks and their drugs could not control me, their education could not school me, their religion could not fool me, their women could never tempt me
their politicians could never rent me, but the babylon daughter still got my pikney

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?

LOL..."porridge"...I haven't heard that word since the fairy tale about Goldie Locks and the Three Bears...LOL...
We get confounded trying to get back to Africa. On my first trip to Africa, they asked, "Where's your passport?" I said "I have no passport...I was taken away 500 years ago; and now I'm back."

Hmmm...not that I know of...although it does sound tasty.

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 fireconfused2So.....can you make it or know anyone that does?
