I am not too fond of Bananas but there are a few exceptions.Like a Sharjah shake perhaps(recipe coming soon)or maybe a Chocolate Banana Cake.You wouldn't catch me eating a ripe banana off the fruit counter,that's for sure.So how about Banana which has crossed its prime,that's only good for a cake I believed.
Last week,when in-laws were here my ma-in-law decided to make this as she felt the weather here was perfect for a chilled milk-fruit based dessert.I was surprised at how easy it was made and how delicious it tasted chilled.I have made a similar version many moons ago.A friend of ours tasted this and said it was Pazha madhuram,something which was made by his grandma during his childhood days.So there.
Banana Harshaale | Pazha Madhuram
Ingredients
Ripe Banana - 3-4(we used Yelakki)
Milk - 3/4 cup
Milkmaid - 1/4 cup
OR
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Method
Cut the bananas into small bite size pieces.
Mix in the milk and the condensed milk(or sugar) and add cardamom powder.
Chill for 3-4 hours.
Notes
- Add either sugar or condensed milk(not both as we have done) as that would result in super sweet harshaale.We added more banana and milk to balance the taste.
- Make sure you chill it for at least 2 hours only then the flavors would set in.
what will i not do to eat this for breakfast, lunch and dinner? After all i m a banana freak so my feelings are justified when it comes to something so healthy and easy
ReplyDeleteHarshaaLe.. brought back my childhood memories. This was usually made on Krishnashtami night with the banana's that were brought for pooja. At our place we usually made it with freshly extracted coconut milk and jaggery. A pinch of cardamom powder. My MIL makes it this way with milk and sugar. Looks delicious. Cannot try it here as we get cavendish variety of banana here. Looks delicous
ReplyDeleteguess wat?? I have a similar version in my drafts but we make this dry...looks nice
