Ganapati Bappa Morya!! 🙏🙏
It's again the time of this year to welcome Gannu Bappa, who is going to make his annual visit to our home 😍
Lord Ganesha is probably the most favorite of all foodies, his pot belly stands testament "he's a big foodie" 😉 When the deity is so fond of food, even the devotees offer varieties of Bhog in order to please him and attract positive energies into their lives 😉
One of the many is "Banana sheera", can be counted as the popular offering during Ganesh Puja, Satyanarayan Puja, Varalakshmi and many other auspicious occasions. Lord Ganesha is believed to be fond of sweets, so this year I am preparing "Banana Sheera" as a prasad for Ganesh Puja. It can be prepared in a jiffy with a few ingredients. The combination of ghee, rava, banana, milk along with some chopped dry fruits, makes an amazing recipe to impress the God and satiate our taste buds. The aroma is too pious and heavenly.
Other than offering as prasad, a bowlful of "Banana sheera" can make a good breakfast, dessert or even teatime snacks. So, Use the over-riped, leftover bananas to prepare this melt-in mouth sweet dish, which never fails to impress.
Ingredients :
- 1 Banana - peeled and cut to pieces (can be mashed and used too)
- 1 cup Ghee (adjust as you like, more or less)
- 1 cup Sooji/Rava
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3 cups Milk (water also can be used, but milk makes it more creamier)
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder
- Some chopped dry fruits
Recipe Details :
✓ Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a kadai. Roast the chopped dry fruits for few seconds till they turn light brown in color. Don't over-roast. After they turn light brown, take out in a bowl and keep aside.
✓ Heat the rest of the ghee and once ghee is melted, add sooji/rava to it. Roast in medium flame for around 6-8 mins till the rava starts to turn light brown and a nice aroma starts coming of it. Keep stirring continuously so that it doesn't get burnt.
✓ After 6-8 mins, add the banana slices to it. You can even mash the banana and add to rava. Mix everything and cook for 2-3 mins till bananas are slightly cooked.
✓ Heat the milk and add to to the kadai. Keep stirring and Mixing, make sure there's no lumps left.
✓ Cook for around 5 mins in low flame. Same way keep stirring in between.
✓ Add the roasted dry fruits at this point and give everything a good mix.
✓ Cook till all the milk gets absorbed to sheera and now add sugar and cardamom powder. Mix everything again.
✓ Cover and cook for 5 mins more in low flame so that the sugar dissolves nicely in sheera.
✓ Super Delicious aromatic Banana sheera is ready for bhog.
