24 pieces) 5
ripe bananas, peeled and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons ghee
3/4 cup sugar
1
1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon rose essence
1/2 teaspoon cardamom, ground

Using a heavy frying pan, add the ghee and
fry the bananas for about 5 minutes or until they are soft, stirring
frequently. Do not let them brown. Remove the pan from the heat and mash
the bananas. Add a quarter cup of water to the bananas and cook by
stirring over low heat for about 3 minutes. Add the remaining water and
the sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts over medium heat.
Continue to cook and stir for about 20 minutes until the mixture
thickens.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the
spices and flavoring. Add into a buttered dish. When the sweetmeat is
cool, cut it into small squares and serve warm or cold. |
