Chana Dal Banana Kher

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup chana dal (8 ounces)
2. 1 medium size ripe banana
3. saffron to taste
4. cardamon powder to taste
5. sugar to taste
6. 1 can evaporated milk
7. 3 cups milk
8. 2 tablespoons ghee
9. dry coconut flakes for garnish
10. cashew nuts and raisins to taste

Method:

• Put 2 tablespoons of ghee in pan on medium heat.
• Add raisins and cashew nuts and roast lightly.
• Set aside for garnish. Boil chana dal and 2 cups milk until dal is over cooked (soft) so that it can be mashed.
• After this mixture is mashed, add evaporated milk, remaining milk, saffron, cardamon powder and sugar to taste.
• Add the cut banana pieces and boil all of this together to the desired consistency, stirring constantly to prevent milk from cooking over sides of pan.
• Garnish with coconut flakes, roasted cashew nuts and raisins.
