Waiting for a cook
Seychelles
Kat-kat is a Seychellois porridge of green bananas or plantains, boiled, roughly mashed and simmered in coconut milk. The savoury version, katkat sale, has flaked fish (trevally, karang, is the classic) and a cinnamon leaf and is a meal on its own or with rice and chilli sauce; the sweet version, katkat dou, is ripe banana warmed in sweetened coconut milk with lime and eaten as a pudding. Both come from the days when bananas and coconuts were what a Seychelles household had most of.
The draft was written from 4 published sources and holds 11 ingredients and 11 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
