Banana Halwa/Pazha Varatti/Pazham Varatti-Indian Cooking Challenge

For this month ICC Srivalli has chosen an exotic sweet from Kerala which is prepared by using the banana.The original recipe is with the typical Kerala bananas called as nendrampazham but due to unavailability I made with the regular banana.The taste of the sweet is so delicious and couldn't find out it is made out of banana.Now off to the recipe...



Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Banana(pulp)1cup
Sugar11/2cups
Ghee1/4cup
Chopped nutsfor garnishing(optional)

Method 

  • Cut the banana into roundells and pressure cook it for 2whistles.After cooling blend it in a blender to a fine smooth paste. 
  • For every one cup add 1.5 cups of sugar is needed. Put the puree in a non stick heavy bottom pan and add the sugar,mix it well.
  • Add the ghee with regular intervals.Mix it well till it reaches the desired consistency or leaves the side of the pan.
  • Pazha Varatti is ready.

Enjoy...............................................................
  • The taste and the color will be slightly different if nendram pazham is used.
  • Use the well ripen bananas to get a nice sweet taste. 
  • The amount of ghee can be increased or decreased to personal preference.

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
