Pazham Halwa

Description

Pazham Halwa, also known as Banana Halwa, is a delicious and traditional South Indian sweet made from ripe bananas. This dessert is particularly popular in Kerala, where it is known for its rich flavor and chewy texture. The preparation involves cooking ripe banana puree with ghee, sugar, and sometimes cardamom until the mixture thickens and attains a glossy, dense consistency. Nuts and raisins are often added for extra richness. Once set, it is cut into squares or diamond shapes. Pazham Halwa is loved for its deep, caramelized banana flavor and is commonly enjoyed during festivals and special occasions.
