- Once cooled, roughly dice the peels into small fragments.
- Next, warm the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onion, chillies, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the mustard seeds, curry powder, star anise, brown sugar, the diced banana peel, and one chopped banana.
- After a few minutes, pour in the orange juice and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes until it reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Transfer the final product into sterilised jars and store them in the refrigerator for a maximum of one month.
Notes
- You can use a neutral oil such as vegetable or sunflower if you don’t want to use coconut oil.
