Banana Halwa is a tasty dessert which can be easily prepared with just three main ingredients – Banana, sugar and ghee. In this Banana halwa i have added corn flour also to give the halwa a very glossy texture. But adding corn flour is purely optional and is not added in the tradiona recipe of preparing the banana halwa.

Mainly, banana halwa is prepared with a type of banana called Nendram banana. This Nendram banana halwa is authentic to Kerala cuisine and is very famous in kerala. But today I prepared with poovam banana or poovan type banana as i had lot of this type of banana at home.

Though preparing this halwa is time consuming, the end result is awesome. So friends do try this Halwa and let menknow how it has turned out for you.

This Eggless Banana Pancake Using Wheat Flour Recipe is very easy to make and healthy too. We do not add any eggs but still this eggless banana pancake using wheat flour turns out to a soft and fluffy pancake. It can be easily made in morning hurry burry and also can be packed for kids lunch box or given as a tea time snack also.

If you want to make a healthier version of this eggless banana pancake using wheat flour, you can replace the white sugar with palm sugar or jaggery or even can make without these, if you have a sweet banana. In either way, these pancakes remains soft, tasty and fluffy.

You can also make these pancakes without baking soda or baking powder, but it wont come as fluffy as this. You can call those as banana dosa only. So I prefer adding the baking powder and baking soda.
