Hello,

If 4 portions of banana ketchup, it says 3 bananas to make one portion, so there’s 12 bananas is that right?

    Hi Laura, our Banana Ketchup recipe uses 3 bananas to make 4 portions. So just make the Banana Ketchup according to the recipe and then use the 4 portions as the base for the Banana Ketchup Curry. Hope this helps!

How do you measure the 4 portions of banana ketchup? Is it by teaspoon or tablespoon, or some other way? TIA
