Recipe overview
What to know before you cook
Kat-Kat Banane fills a real AfroKitchen gap for Seychelles, where everyday cooking, celebration plates, street snacks, and local drinks often rely on ingredients that do not show up in generic African recipe lists. This version keeps the method practical while preserving the dish's core identity: green bananas and fish, coconut milk, and a table built around rice or chutney.

Chef watch-outs
- Adding too much liquid after the rice goes in.
- Stirring too often once the grains should be steaming.
- Rushing the base before the raw edge has cooked out.
How you know it is ready
- The grains should be tender but still distinct, with steam carrying the seasoning upward.
- The aroma should smell rounded rather than raw or sharp.
- Oil, sauce, broth, or steam should look settled and deliberate.
