Warm bread by placing them on outside of grill. Place one burger on bottom of each bread roll. Spoon some custard sauce over each burger. Top with 2 slices grilled bananas. Place top roll next to burger. If desired garnish with large lime leaves by sticking it upright into banana. Serve.

To grill bananas:
Peel plantain bananas and cut diagonally, about 3/4″ thick. Brush with melted butter. Grill on both sides till grill marks appear. Brush with hot mango chutney and heat through.

Tear up the 2 reserved lime leaves. Place in a saucepan with all ingredients for custard and whisk. Place pan over indirect heat on grill and let simmer while continuing to whisk until sauce is thick. Taste for salt. Set aside. Before serving heat through again, add some milk if too thick, and discard lime leaves.
