Vegan Banana Curry image

This recipe was published in the Toronto Star in January and is the creation of chef Stephen Hobson from the Rivoli. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks delicious. Tips: serve over jasmine rice. Use ripe but firm bananas. Madras curry is a milder version - it can be found, along with palm sugar, in Indian supermarkets if you can't find them elsewhere.
