Tastes best both ways. I remember my childhood because my mother used to make it when we were kids. This is one of the Maharashtrian dessert that can be eaten during fast also. It is almost similar to Banana Rasayana, an another no cook banana dessert which calls for grated coconut or coconut milk. But here it is made with cow milk.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Bananas ripe

2 Cup Milk

2-3 tablespoon or according to your taste

1 teaspoon Ghee

METHOD:

STEP 1 – First heat the milk in a pan. Don’t overheat it, it should be little warm.

STEP 2 – Add sugar in it and mix it well until it dissolve.

STEP 3 – Peel the bananas and mash them roughly in a bowl.

Add this to milk and mix well.

STEP 4 – After mixing well add 1 teaspoon pure ghee in it and mix it and shikran is ready to serve.

Serve it with chapatti or you can serve it as it is as a dessert.

NOTES: *This is plain traditional shikran. For a variation, you can add cardamom powder and chopped nuts in it.  But I personally love to have it plain because banana has its own flavour and it tastes nice.

NOTE: *Don’t keep it for a longer time, it will spoil in that case.
