Vegan Banana Halwa

 

You must have tried various types of halwa, but have you ever tasted halwa made from bananas😃🍌if it's a no!! Then grab a few bananas right now and make this quick dessert that require very simple few ingredients.

This mildly sweet and gooey dish is adapted from Kerala Cuisine, banana halwa is made on special occasions and as an offering during poojas. 

This recipe doesn't need much of the sweetness as bananas are naturally sweet. Original recipe calls for adding sugar but I prefer to use powdered jaggery. Also I added homemade vegan ghee.

Try this recipe, it makes a unique prasadam as compared to the regular sheera and payasam.
