How to make
Banana Halwa is a delicious Indian dessert made from semolina, ripe bananas, and a blend of flavorful ingredients. To prepare it, start by lightly frying rawa (semolina) in ghee until it turns golden. Next, sauté cashew nuts and raisins in a little ghee for added crunch and sweetness. Mash the ripe bananas and set them aside. In a heavy-bottomed vessel, bring water to a boil and gradually add the cooked rawa while stirring continuously until soft. Incorporate the mashed bananas, sugar, and a touch of yellow color, mixing well. Finish by adding ghee, cardamom powder, and the fried nuts and raisins. Once mixed, transfer the mixture to a greased plate or bowl to set. Enjoy this rich and flavorful dessert warm or at room temperature!
