I had lot of banana at home which were starting to get black spots on top and none of us were consuming it. I thought instead of wasting them, i had to either make banana bread or this sweet. This sweet is much easier i felt for today. I did not want to switch on the stove or oven for making any sweet today. This is usually made and sold in temples. I just love them a lot. This is a very famous sweet in south side temples, of course they add more items to it. This is my version of it.

This is simple and can be made in 5 minutes if all the ingredients are available at home. This is also a quick sweet for neivedyams(offerings).

2 Ripened Banana
5-6 Raisins
2 table spoon powdered Jaggery or Brown sugar
1 tea spoon Ghee
1/2 tea spoon cardamom powder
2-3 Dates (optional)
few kalkand (sugar crystals)

In a bowl mash the banana. Add the brown sugar, ghee and all the other ingredients and mix well and serve.
