Ingredients

  • 6 Long overripe Bananas
  • ¼ cup Ghee
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Cashews
  • ¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder (optional)

Instructions

  • In a blender, add bananas and blend them to a smooth paste. Blending gives a smoother consistency to your halwa. You can also mash the bananas instead of blending if you desire a chunky halwa
  • Add ghee and pureed banana in a pan and continuously stir on medium-low flame for about 15 minutes. The banana will be cook during this process, and the mixture slowly starts changing its color.
  • At this point, add sugar based on the sweetness of banana, cashews and continue to stir. The color and texture of halwa changes during this process
  • Around 25 minutes mark, i.e., after adding sugar, the mixture becomes thick, sticky, and leaves the sides of the pan. Switch off the flame.
  • Transfer this to a greased plate or plate lined with parchment paper and spread the halwa to desired thickness.
  • Once it cools down completely, cut them into desired size and shape. Serve and enjoy.

Notes/Tips

1-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. 2-Vary the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the bananas. Use ripe to overripe banana for best results.
