Banana – Biscuit Halwa

 This recipe was earlier sent for IMC’s Treasure Box. I really loved the october month treasure box. It’s the Gandhi Jayanthi special box and we got the khadi paper and our designer beautifully designed a warli craft. We all Loved it. Here is the box that we got. The recipe that got sent in this box was this Banana-Biscuit Halwa.

When we have ripe bananas at home, we usually add it to smoothie. Instead we can make this simple halwa in less than 30 minutes with just 5 simple ingredients. A great way to use left over bananas and biscuits. This time when I was in Chennai, I got to taste this recipe at M’s aunts place. It was so yum. I got the recipe from his chitthi  and tried this and sent it for Treasure Box.

• Ripe Bananas – 6
• Biscuits (Parle G or Good Day or your choice) – 6 (I used good day biscuits)
• Ghee – 2 tbsps.
• Sugar – 3 tbsps.
• Milk – 1/2 cup
• Food color – 1/2 tsp (optional)

• Peel the bananas and cut into halves.
• Crumble the biscuits and add it to the bananas and mash them nicely with your hand.
• Make sure the banana and biscuits mix well.

• Now heat the kadai and add this mashed mixture.
• Add the milk, sugar, ghee and food color if using and mix well.

• Keep stirring for every couple of minutes till it thickens to halwa stage.
• It takes around 10 minutes for it to thicken.
