Fijian Comfort Food - Vudi Vakasoso

It was rich, warm, creamy, full of flavour.  The one I ate was baked in the oven, and had raisins added.  This recipe is simmered in a pot.

Vudi, pronounced voon-dee, is like a short fat banana.  It’s not a banana, it’s not a plantain, but more like a combination of the two.  Firm ripe bananas, or even green bananas would be a good substitute  - starchy.

2 large ripe vundi, sliced into 1/4-1/2 inch thick rounds
1 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp shredded coconut
1 tbsp sugar (optional & most likely unnecessary)
Simmer covered over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Serve warm or at room temperature.
