Banana Chocolate Halwa

By

I always used to love the panchamitradam that was made as a parashad for hindu god my neighbors back in chennai used to share the parshad and i used to lick them all . I love banana desserts and so I made this delicious halwa with it giving it a twist by adding chocolate / cocoa pd to it . You will not believe but it tasted some what similar to panchamitradam and so delicious . If you want to use of the over riped bananas lying then this might be a wonderful way to make it in to sweet. So for the 2nd day of BM I made this yummy delightful sweet. They where super yummy and gooey and remember not to over cook them else the sugar will harden . Lets move to the recipe of this yummy halwa .Check Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM# 35

    I prepare banana halwa sometimes when they are overripe but never thought of giving it a chocolate twist. Love the color and sheen of the halwa. It is looking like chocolate pudding.
