Banana Rasayana

This is a typical kannadiga banana sweet dish..Savoured on all occasions..even during fasting and 'vrat' days..I love this simple banana dish whenever I am homesick or missing any festivals back in India. Now that dasara is round the corner..what better occasion to enjoy this. Dasara makes me nostalgic..My mom used set 7 to 9 steps of traditional idols and dolls..collected from generations.
Inviting friends and family in the evening ...distributing different savouries like chakali, sweets and sundals/gugri..all nine days of festivities and wear pattu dress and enjoying....miss all those ..still lot more to enjoy with friends around

Ingredients:
Ripe Bananas - 5 sliced
Jaggery - 1/2 cup,
Ghee - 1 tablespoon,
Grated Coconut - 1/2 cup,
Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon.



Method:
Slice the bananas and keep aside. You can sprinkle some lemon juice to avoid darkening.
Boil jaggery with a tablespoon of water until, jaggery is completely dissolved.
The whole purpose is to dissolve the jaggery.
Once jaggery is dissolved remove from heat and add ghee and grated coconut.
Add cardamom powder and allow to cool for a while.
Add sliced bananas and mix well.
Serve and enjoy.
