As mentioned in my last blog, Banana Rasa was my take on my Mom's Banana Rasayana or as they say in Kannada Balehannina rasayana . So i thought why not share with you all my mother's recipe.There are two ways of making this dish. One is the shortcut simple way and the other one is the more elaborate one.On days when we wanted to eat Rasayana and my mother had very little time to make it, she would you use the shortcut method. Rasayana is served at the end of the traditional meal to cool down the stomach.
