Uganda is the world's plantain and banana capital and there both fruit are cooked like vegetables. The mild and slightly sweet flavour of bananas marry well with white meats like veal, pork and chicken and lend an interesting flavour to this curry. For this dish to work the bananas will need to be under-ripe, or they will fall apart during cooking.

Ingredients:

200g onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp freshly-grated ginger
60g butter
900g veal, cut into 3cm cubes
900g tomatoes, cut into small wedges
250ml water
4 bananas, peeled and cut into 5cm lengths

Method:

Add the butter to a large saucepan and melt. Then add the onions, curry powder, salt, pepper, ginger and veal. Fry for 10 minutes then add the tomatoes and water and simmer for 30 minutes before adding the bananas. Simmer for a further 15 minutes longer then pour into a large bowl. Serve with a separate bowl of boiled rice and braised cabbage.
