4 tablespoons oil (for frying, you might need more)
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon medium curry (fresh and good quality)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed
2 teaspoons ginger, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped
6 bananas, large, green, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
1 lb shrimp, peeled, raw weight (can be frozen, but preferably not cooked)
4 curry leaves (or use lemon leaves and bash a little)
4 tomatoes, ripe, peeled, juice pressed out, chopped
1 -2 hot pepper, green, chopped (remove seeds if worried about heat)
1 teaspoon sugar
salt
chopped cilantro, for serving
desiccated coconut, for serving (optional)

1
Add cumin to the curry powder, add the wet spices and coriander, and add just a bit of water, to mix to a paste.
2
Fry the onion until transparent. Add the spice mixture, and stir so it fries and the flavour is released. If it's too thick, add a little more water.
3
Add the bananas and stir. Add about 1/2 cup water, cover, and simmer for about 6 minutes.
4
Add the shrimps, curry or lemon leaves, chopped tomato, hot peppers and sugar. Stir over medium heat, turn heat down, and cook about 8 minutes, until bananas are soft and the shrimps pink and curled. Make sure the banana has softened -- this will depend on degree of greenness or ripeness!
5
Taste for seasoning and add salt.
6
Serve over rice and sprinkle over chopped cilantro. Dessicated coconut can be served on the side, or over the dish as well.
