VEGAN MASALA CURRY!

With banana pee.

Say what?? An Indian curry made with banana peels? Yes! and oh so vegan!
Now, the best bananas to use for cooking their peels are the bananas number 1, 2 and 3, because you won’t need scrapping the white part inside the peels, resulting in more “meaty” peels. However, if you decide to use banana number 4, you will have to scrape the white inside part of the pell to prevent any sweetness in your dish. The bananas 5, 6 or 7 are not recommended for cooking savory dishes using their peels.

Enough chitchat! Here is the recipe!
