Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Bananas

   Peel all the ripe bananas and chop them into smaller pieces. Transfer the chopped bananas into a blender.

2. 2.Blend Bananas

   Blend the chopped bananas into a smooth, thick paste. Ensure there are no lumps.

3. 3.Cook Banana Paste

   Heat 1/4 cup of ghee in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the ghee is melted, pour the banana paste into the pan. Cook the banana paste for about 15 minutes, stirring continuously, until it becomes shiny and slightly thickens.

4. 4.Prepare Jaggery Syrup

   In a separate small pan, add 1 cup of jaggery and 1/4 cup of water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the jaggery completely melts and forms a smooth syrup.

5. 5.Combine and Cook Halwa

   Pour the jaggery syrup into the banana paste in the large pan. Mix well until combined. Continue cooking and stirring the mixture. As the mixture cooks and thickens, add 1-2 tablespoons of ghee periodically (around 0:41 and 0:43) to prevent sticking and enhance the texture. Cook until the halwa becomes very thick, sticky, and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, which should take about 15-20 minutes.

6. 6.Add Peanuts

   Once the halwa reaches the desired thick and sticky consistency, add 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts. Mix them thoroughly into the halwa.

7. 7.Set the Halwa

   Transfer the hot halwa mixture into a greased square cake tin or a similar mold. Press it down evenly with a spatula. Place the tin in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the halwa to set completely.

8. 8.Cut and Serve

   Once set, remove the halwa from the refrigerator. Invert it onto a cutting board and cut it into desired shapes, such as squares or bars. Serve the delicious banana halwa.
