Summers bring with them a much lower appetite. And also plenty of yummy fruits! The Kerala banana, or nenthra-pazham (നേന്ത്രപഴം), is very high in carbs, therefore very filling. And high carbs is exactly what you are looking for, in the perfect breakfast. Pair it up with a glass of milk, and you’re good to go!

This can also be made with the regular big bananas, although the texture and taste will be completely different.

Time Taken: 10 min
Serves: 1

Ingredients:

2 bananas, halved and sliced vertically
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp crushed nuts – almonds, cashews, walnuts
1 tbsp raisins
2 tbsp salted butter

Method:

Spread the butter on a hot skillet and gently place the banana slices on the pan. Cover and let cook.

Turn when it has browned a bit, and cook on the other side.

Place them in a heap on a plate, sprinkle the nuts and raisins.

Pour the honey on top, and serve hot. Can also add a sprinkling of nutmeg for flavor.
