Step-by-Step Instructions

Peel the ripe plantains and cut them into bite-sized pieces, roughly an inch thick. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the prepared plantain slices and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until lightly golden and caramelized.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of curry powder and 1 teaspoon of salt, mixing thoroughly to coat the plantains.
Pour in one can of coconut milk and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and cover, simmering for about 15-20 minutes until the plantains are tender.
Adjust seasoning as necessary, and add a pinch of cayenne pepper or lime juice if preferred.
