Amount Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1         tablespoon clarified butter
2          teaspoons black mustard seeds
     1/2           cup dried coconut -- preferably unsweetened
1                cup yogurt
1              large banana -- roughly chopped
1         tablespoon cilantro leaves -- chopped, for garnish (1 to 2)

Heat the clarified butter in a small pan or skillet, and when it is hot,
add the mustard seeds. Have a lid handy and cover the pan as soon as the
seeds begin to pop and leap about. Shake the pan back and forth a little
so that the seeds don't burn. When they have finished popping, add the
coconut, stirring constantly until it has turned a golden brown. Add these
ingredients to the yogurt and stir in the banana. Chill and serve cold,
garnished with the chopped cilantro.

Makes 1 ½ to 2 cups (Makes 7 one-quarter cup servings)

This is a sweet and cool dish to serve with curried dishes.
