This Month’s Film: Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India
Cuisine: Indian

At the last minute, I decided to go ahead with my dessert recipe along with the main course and side dishes. The bananas were on the verge of over-ripe and I had everything else I needed. But I decided to switch recipes in mid-stream. Instead of the labor-intensive Eight-Layer Coconut Banana Cake, I chose to make a Warm Coconut Banana Custard. And I must say that, for a shortcut dessert, this little quickie really delivers. It is composed of nothing more than coconut milk, mashed banana, egg, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla. What could be simpler?

The recipes for my ‘Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India’ menu will be posted at the end of the month along with my film review.
