Ingredients
For the Banana Rolls
- 2 Bananas large, thinly sliced
For the Filling
- 3 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 2 tbsp Cashews chopped
- 2 tbsp Raisins
- 1/4 cup Coconut grated
- 1 tbsp Ghee
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1/8 tsp Cardamom Powder or ground elaichi
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, heat the coconut oil. Sauté the banana slices until lightly golden on both sides. This caramelizes the natural sugars, enhancing their sweetness. Transfer the banana slices to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the chopped cashews and raisins. Sauté until the cashews are lightly toasted and the raisins are plump. Add the grated coconut and continue to sauté until lightly golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Stir in the sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well to combine. Remove from heat.
- Arrange the sautéed banana slices on a plate slightly overlapping each other. Spread the cashew-coconut-raisin filling evenly over the banana slices.
- Gently roll up each banana slice, creating individual sweet rolls. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the cashews and coconut in coconut oil before adding them to the filling. This intensifies their flavor and adds a delightful texture contrast.
- If you want to reduce refined sugar, substitute jaggery or date syrup for a more traditional Indian sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor.
- To make these rolls vegan, swap desi ghee with additional coconut oil and use maple syrup or agave in place of sugar.
- Shape the rolls and freeze them on a tray; once solid, transfer to an airtight container. This makes for a quick, ready-to-cook breakfast or snack for up to a month.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider blooming the spices in the ghee before adding the other filling ingredients. This helps release their aromatic compounds.
- Don't overcook the rolls. They should be golden brown and cooked through, but not dry. A slightly soft center is ideal.
- Experiment with different fillings. Dried fruits, other nuts, or even a sprinkle of chocolate chips can add a unique twist.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
