How to Make Banana Halva
- Mash 3 ripe bananas into a smooth pulp in a medium saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water to the mashed bananas. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a rapid boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 1/4 cup melted ghee (clarified butter), ensuring it's fully incorporated.
- Return the saucepan to medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture thickens and forms a firm, pulling away from the sides of the pan (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, cashews, or pistachios), 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds, and a pinch of saffron threads (optional).
- Pour the halva onto a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish or flat plate.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into 1-inch squares.
