Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 100 grams sugar
- 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 3 pieces cardamom pods (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cashews
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 50 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into thick, even rounds (about 1/2-inch thick). Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped cashews and raisins, and sauté until the cashews turn golden and the raisins become plump. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee and reduce the heat to low. Add the sliced bananas in a single layer and sauté gently until they begin to soften and slightly caramelize (about 2-3 minutes per side). Flip carefully to avoid breaking the slices.
Step 4
Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the bananas, followed by the crushed cardamom pods. Gently stir to coat the bananas with the sugar and spices.
Step 5
Pour in the water and increase the heat to medium. Allow the mixture to cook until the sugar dissolves and forms a thick, syrupy glaze that coats the bananas (about 5-7 minutes). Stir gently to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and garnish the banana sweet with the sautéed cashews and raisins.
Step 7
Serve warm as a dessert or a sweet snack. It pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or as a topping for pancakes.
