To this, add the mashed bananas. To thicken the halwa, at this stage add flour dissolved in 1/4 cup water. Keep on stirring the mix to attain a thick mass. Add ghee little by little. When this becomes a thick mass, add the cardamom powder. Mix well and pour into a pan greased with ghee. Decorate with cashews. When cool cut and enjoy.
