Banana Halwa

Banana Halwa step by step instructions:

Sweets are my weakness. I am so fond of them that even looking at them makes me feel so happy. :)

Yesterday we (me and my husband) went to “Good Earth City Center” and there is this shop called “Om Sweets” (Well I am talking about Gurgaon, India). So the point is whenever we go to good earth city center, it is a must to go to that shop, even if we don’t want to eat anything.

It is just like I love admiring the sweets displayed over there and in my mind, my imaginations start. When I will reach home I will do this and do that. Hence the list is just endless. And this certainly proves that I am a great sweet lover.
Being acidic from quite many days, it has become a routine for me to have bananas. So my home without bananas is just not possible.

With the rendezvous of my eyes with the sweets yesterday at the shop and the availability of bananas I instantly thought of making this yummy “Banana Halwa”.

The chopped almonds give a wonderful taste to the halwa managing the overall sweetness of the halwa.
