I saw this recipe in Fox History featuring Mauritian Cuisine. I decided to do it as soon as possible. The crust was so crisp and the banana filling was so nice. My daughter loved it. Every time when I prepare a new dish, I am always worried whether my daughter likes it or not. If I give her a piece and she tells me that it is super, then the truth is that she didn't like it. But she tells that just to satisfy me. But when she actually likes it, I will not hear any comment from her. She just asks for another piece. This banana tart has become one of her favourites and she was asking for more. She even took it to her school for her friend. I am so happy to have satisfied my daughter.
