Banana Halwa

Banana Halwa 

Halwa in 15 minutes???

Yes! You can prepare delicious banana halwa in just 15 minutes! 

Banana halwa is my favourite sweet. 

But i usually avoid buying it from the store as it contains lots of sugar & ghee/oil. 

Whenever i crave for this sweet, i prepare it at home in a healthy way. 

I prepare my own version of quick & easy, healthy banan halwa which needs very few ingredients available in the pantry. 

Try using Nendran bananas for better results.  Here i have used only 2 bananas & 2 tbsp ghee. You can use more ghee for better & richer texture. 

This tasty halwa just melts in your mouth &  can be served as a dessert or a tea time snack. 

Here i used jaggery instead of sugar.  You can use sugar if you wish. 

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 ripened Nendran bananas
• 2tbsp wheat flour 
• 1/2 cup jaggery ( as required)
• 2 tbsp ghee
• Few dry fruits
• Pinch of Cardamom powder

Method:

Peel & slice Nendran bananas. Add to the grinding jar. 

Grind to a smooth paste. 

Add 2 tbsp wheat flour. Pulse for  about 10-12 seconds. 

Banana paste is ready. 

Heat 1 tbsp ghee. Add dryfruits & fry for 1 minute. 

Now add banana paste. Add jaggery.  Mix well. Cook on a medium flame for 4-5 minutes. 

Add 1 tbsp ghee. Mix well & cook for another 5-6 minutes on a slow flame. 

You will get this sticky texture. 

Grease any desired plate or dish. 

Pour the mixture & flatten with a spoon.  Allow it to cool for 1-2 hours.

 

Slice as per your choice. 

Super delicious banana halwa is ready. 

It's soft, moist & just melts in your mouth. 

Enjoy this delicious sweet with your loved ones. 

Please note:

This  halwa not as chewy as the store brought one. If you need this to be chewy , you have to add extra ghee & sugar and cook it for atleast for  another 15 minutes. 

You can add maida/ all purpose flour instead of wheat flour.
