How to make Banana Ghee Roast
- Step 1
Peel and slice the ripe Nendran banana into half-centimeter thick round slices. Avoid slicing too thin as they may burn quickly, and too thick slices may not roast evenly.
- Step 2
Add sugar to the banana slices and mix well.
- Step 3
Heat a pan and add ghee. Place the banana slices in the pan, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Step 4
After about two minutes, the banana slices will start to turn a caramelized brown color. Flip them to cook the other side.
- Step 5
Once both sides are caramelized and golden brown, remove the slices from the flame.
- Step 6
Serve the banana ghee roast warm as a snack or pair it with vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
