Banana Halwa

Banana Halwa

Diwali is long gone, but I can still make this Indian halwa pudding as a belated celebration. This reminds me of a Bulgarian dessert they stuffed us with in kindergarten called grits-halwa made with yes, grits, syrup and raisins (mostly even without raisins). This commie-era plain dessert was hated by kids throughout the nation, however this here version  is everything grits halwa is not – fragrant, nutritious, fruity, rich. The ghee soaked cashews absolutely raise it to a higher level. I have forgiven the ladies working in the kindergarten cantina long ago for making otherwise great food bland and despicable – so I am on a mission to find redeeming recipes like this 🙂
