Nigella prepared the banana skins by covering them in boiling water, then adding turmeric and salt. The peel was chopped up and added to the curry sauce.
She commented that often when she makes it for people, they think it is aubergines, not banana.
Viewers on social media were not totally convinced though.
"I cannot get on board with banana skins in a curry, even if you tell me it’s aubergine," said one Nigella Lawson fan.
"Banana skin curry?? Naaa, Nigella Lawson is the Piers Morgan of cooking shows," added another viewer.

Just turned on BBC2 to find @Nigella_Lawson telling her viewers that long thin strips of banana skin (which she was putting into a curry) reminded her of gagh "a Klingon delicacy".

https://twitter.com/Maevequill/status/1325897941853331457 Nigella Lawson herself responded to the reaction after the show. "I hope I didn’t traumatise you too much with the banana skins," she tweeted. "I promise you the curry is divine."Seriously, as someone who loves @Nigella_Lawson I cannot get on board with banana skins in a curry, even if you tell me it’s aubergine #CookEatRepeat
