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😊 Checkout other halwa recipes in TMF
