Banana Halwa

 

Ingredients

• Banana – 5 
• Jaggery – 1 & ¼ cup 
• Sugar – ¼ cup 
• Lemon juice – 1 tsp
• Ghee – 4 tbsp
• Cashew nuts – 10
• Cardamom – 1 powdered

Instructions

• Peel the banana and puree it in a blender. I got 2 & ¼ cups.
• In a heavy-bottomed vessel, heat banana puree with jaggery, sugar.
• Once it starts boiling, add lemon juice. This will prevent turning burfi.
• Once it turns glossy, start adding ghee one tbsp at a time.
• Let the mixture thicken. First, it starts to leave sides.
• As you keep cooking and add ghee, at one stage, you will see whitish frothy here and there while you stir from the bottom.
• Add powdered cardamom, chopped cashew nuts, and mix.
• At one stage at many places in the mixture starts turning pale, slightly frothy.
• Pour to a greased serving bowl. I poured to a plate.
