Banana halwa

Halwa in 15 mnts?????
Yes. I made this healthy 
BANANA WHEAT HALWA
In just 15 mnts!!!.
I had 2 over riped large Nendra bananas & wanted to utilize them for any yummy healthy recipe. Thought of preparing healthy halwa. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 large Nendra riped bananas
  • 1/2 cup jaggery ( as per yourr choice)
  • Dry fruits of your choice
  • 2tbsp wheat flour
  • 2tbsp ghee
  • Cardamom powder

Method:

 I just ground these 2 bananas in mixer grinder, transferred the paste to a nonstick pan, added 1/2 cup jaggery, few dry fruits, pinch of salt , 2 tbsp wheat flour & 2 tbsp ghee. Kept on stirring till it boiled. 

To my surprise it started leaving ghee within 5 mnts. Cooked on a slow flame for another 5 mnts.

 Added cardamom powder & poured in a glass dish & cooled. Cut into desired pieces. Its truly fantastic  like taj mahal halwa.

If you use sugar you will get better quality halwa. But i prefer healthy sweets.
Pls note: bananas used in this pic is only for presentation purpose. I have used nendra bananas.
This is the most tried & appreciated recipe in other groups 
Same recipe can be tried with sugar & you will get excellent result. But i prefer jaggery as a healthy option.
The timing mentioned above is only for this small quantity. If you are using more quantity, it will take longer time. 
If you want it to be more sticky, cook it for little longer time. I prefer this texture.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat.

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
