• Step 1 Mash the bananas

  To prepare this delicious banana halwa, peel the bananas and mash them in a large bowl. Put a pan on medium flame and heat ghee in it. When the ghee is melted, add the mashed bananas and reduce the flame to low.

• Step 2 Cook them

  Stir the mashed bananas in ghee and cook for about 15 minutes or until they become light brown in colour. Keep stirring the bananas to avoid them from sticking at the bottom of the pan.

• Step 3 Ready to be served

  After 15 minutes, add sugar to the pan and stir well to dissolve the sugar completely and cook for another 5 minutes. Then add cardamom powder and stir once again for a few seconds and remove the pan from the burner. Transfer the halwa to a serving bowl and allow the mixture to cool down at room temperature. Banana halwa is ready. Now cut thick slices and serve!

TIPS

• Please use my timing as a guide. The time it takes you to reach each stage will vary depending on the type of banana, the intensity of the flame, and the pan used to make the sweet recipe.
• Vary the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the bananas.
  Use ripe to overripe banana for best results.
• Use any variety of bananas but see that it’s overripe. Long bananas (plantain) tastes the best.
• Except for the last banana that I show in the video, all the bananas that I use are overripe with skin completely black in color  I had no plans of clicking videos until I started adding the last one. Having said that, don’t use rotten bananas. You can taste overripe bananas before adding them to the recipe. There is a difference guys
