Pazham Njurukku (Kerala Dishes)

Pazham nurukku (one of the traditional food of kerala) is the vital part of Onam sadya specially in the Malabar region. This banana desert is steam cooked, so it is healthy at the same time yummy. It is very easy to prepare at the same time does not consume much time.
Ingredients
·         Banana medium sized 2 nos
·         Ghee 3tsp
·         Sugar 1 tsp
Preparation
Put some scratches on the banana (don’t peel it) and cook it in oven for 3 minutes (900W or high). Now the banana becomes soft and the outer skin turns to black color. Instead of the Oven method we can use the conventional Steam-cook method. Peel the skin. Cut the banana into small pieces. Take a pan put the ghee and keep it in medium flame once the ghee is hot put the banana pieces into it and sauté until the color becomes yellowish brown. Now take it from the pan place it in a vessel, spread the sugar on it and close it using a cover. Keep it covered for 15 minutes. That allow the steam to make the pazham njurukku to taste best.
