In my childhood I frequently used to have banana rasayana along with chapati. Every Saturday my mom used to prepare this combo for lunch. But now I am not a big fan of this easy dessert, so occasionally it makes it’s presence in my kitchen. Though we can have banana rasayana as is, it is a good accompaniment with akki shavige, neer dosa and chapati. Other day I had prepared neer dose for breakfast and instead of regular coconut chutney I prepared this banana recipe. So lets see how banana rasayana is prepared in Udupi.
