Pre-heat oven to 200 deg C. Score bananas at the ridges, through the skin only, and peel. Slice into 1/4 inch pieces. Soak bananas in water, turmeric, lemon juice and salt for 15 mins. Drain. Spread soaked & drained banana pieces on a baking tray. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Bake for 15 mins. In a large pan, mix water, onion, chillies, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, pandan leaves, turmeric, curry powder and cinnamon. Bring to gentle simmer for 10 mins. Add baked banana, mix and cook for 5 mins. Lower heat as far as possible. Add coconut milk and let bananas cook in the gravy until most of the gravy is absorbed (20-30 mins). Adjust salt to taste. Serve with rice and other curries.
