Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ripe Banana approx. 3 long fruits
  • 4 tsp Sugar
  • 2 - 3 tsp Ghee
  • A Pinch Cardamom Powder

Instructions

How to make Banana Halwa

  • Peel and chop the bananas into small pieces.
  • Heat a pan, add the bananas along with ghee. Cook on high till all the water content is evaporated and thickens.
  • Once it starts leaving the sides, keep stirring till you get a thick pulp.
  • Meanwhile, in another pan, melt sugar with just enough water over a high flame. Remove dirt if any. Cook again till it thickens a bit.
  • Transfer the sugar syrup to the pan with the banana simmering. Combine well and continue cooking till the halwa is shining and thick.
  • Add in the cardamom powder, mix well and remove.
  • Serve hot!

Notes

Sugar syrup need not be very thick, when you get a shining thick syrup, it is enough.
If you want, you can puree the banana, however, you will end up having a smooth paste-like halwa.
