Do you have Over ripe bananas in your pantry and thinking what to do, try this Banana halwa. Banana fudge is not only easy but my toddler who hate banana also enjoys it.

I started experimenting with fruit based recipes for my son. As I mentioned before my son is very choosy when it comes to fruits. I have posted few Banana based recipes before, pls check it out if you are interested.

Banana recipes

Before my India trip I was in a mode to finish all perishables. Some over ripe bananas in the fruit basket, remembering Nendrapazham halwa, wanted to try something similar with very less sugar that is how this banana halwa happened.

I wouldn’t say banana and raisins gave the exact amount of sweetness sugar gives, but for a mild snack we thought raisins did justice. Also over ripe banana was also on the sweeter side.

I added very little amount of corn flour so That It will be like a fudge but still It. won’t hold a proper shape like custard powder Halwa. If you prefer to omit corn flour can do it and have the banana  Halwa with a spoon😊

Notes

  1. Food color can be addedD
  2. Shelf life of Banana halwa is very less. Stays good for two days in fridge
  3. Adjust the sugar according to your Sweetness. Raisin gave Sweetness so I felt the sugar I added was enough
  4. Any nuts of choice can be added
  5. I preferred cutting the halwa instead you can also enjoy it in a cup
  6. Extra ghee can be added to make halwa rich
