Buffalo Butter Banana Bread

Dense, moist banana bread made with buffalo butter instead of oil — an extraordinary everyday bake that will change how you see this classic forever.

Ingredients

Ripe bananas, mashed 3 large
Sree Kumaran Desi Buffalo Butter, melted ⅓ cup
Jaggery or sugar ¾ cup
Egg 1
All-purpose flour 1½ cups
Baking soda 1 tsp
Cardamom powder ½ tsp

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a loaf tin with buffalo butter.
  2. Mix mashed banana with melted buffalo butter. Add jaggery and egg and whisk together.
  3. Fold in flour, baking soda and cardamom until just combined. Do not over-mix.
  4. Pour into the loaf tin. Bake for 55–60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  5. Cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out. Serve warm with an extra smear of cold buffalo butter.
Chef's Note

Buffalo butter produces a denser, moister crumb than regular butter because of its lower water content. The cardamom gives this an unmistakably Indian character. Slice thick and serve with tea.
