Step 1

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a very low heat and fry the onion for 10 minutes until soft and just beginning to colour. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric and garam masala and fry for 1 minute, then add the chicken and gently fry for 5 minutes until sealed. Add the banana, water and sultanas and leave to bubble away for 15 minutes. Add the coconut and serve as it is for older children or blended/mashed up a little for younger ones.

Step 2

This freezes well, although the bananas will be a little discoloured upon thawing. Just stir well and make sure everything’s piping hot before serving.
