Doyal did much better today for all the dishes and earned her place in final 5! A job well done by Doyal!!

I do hope that this show gives Yasmin enough exposure and she can secure a good future for her and her kids! Good luck to her!

I was so sorry to see Yasmin eliminated. Both Doyle and Yasmin are good and creative. When Doyle was contemplating how she would use the bananas, it was obvious that she had used that recipe and raw bananas a lot of time. She seemed very comfortable with them.

Doyle was more innovative as far as all her dishes went and I applaud her for it.

Then there was Yasmin, who had already given up before the competition even began. Her dishes were not perfected and completed in time. So this round goes to Doyale who seemed composed throughout the competition..

The question is...did the judges choose bananas knowing that it is very often used in Bengali cuisine. I suppose we will never know that.

I sincerely wish Yasmin all the best in opening a restaurant and becoming very successful. I am proud of you Yasmin. God Bless you

Is it true that Bengalis use green bananas a lot? I had never heard of that.. Is that something you know or what you think as Doyal said she likes them and makes them at home? Just asking out of curiosity as I like raw bananas but could not find that many Bengali recipes..

Raw bananas are used in Bengal in some dishes like a vegetable, but its not like a staple food as is being projected. One famous dish in bengal is the raw banana kofta curry, and it is also sometimes used in some fish curries (along with raw papaya) more like a medicinal diet.

Thank you. Yes, I have made that kofta curry - a mix of banana and potato. I like it but am trying to cut down on potatoes and too much deep frying.

We also use raw bananas at home and it seems to me we use more of it than the Bengalis do. Had not heard about the use with fish but I guess that is good as a substitute for potato for health reasons.

Frankly I don't know much about Bengali cooking, except for 'mishty dohi', which I love. But reading other comments I thought it is widely used in Bengali cuisine. But one thing is definite (just goggled), that Bengalis traditionally eat on the ground with a large banana leaf serving as the plate and they also wrap fish and other meats and vegetable in banana leaf before steaming etc. But it was evident that Doyle was familiar with uses of banana in normal cooking.

Banana leafs are traditionally used as substitutes for plates in bengal during ceremonies (which has also become rare now courtesy catering invasion), but so it is common in south India as well. And it is used for steaming fish or vegetables in mustard gravy. But that has nothing to do with raw bananas. Like I mentioned, it is more used in kofta curries, as well as in fish curries sometimes as a substitute for potatoes.
