Mandira - what a roundup! I cannot even imagine what other cuisine besides our Indian (maybe other Asian countries) have such a multiple use of bananas/plaintains in their food. Lovely creations from everyone! Looking forward to the next round!

Awesome roundup. So sorry I couldn't participate. I just didn't have the time, and my poor banana's sat on the counter and turned BLACK!

Ahhh, but this is certainly a feast for the eyes. I will definitely be coming here for banana recipes!
