Peel and chop bananas in to small pieces. Finely powder the cardamoms.

Fry cashew nuts and raisins in ghee one after the other and keep them aside.

Add 1.5 cups of water in a pan and let it boil. When water gets boiled, add washed rice in to it. Stir and let it cook in medium flame till rice is soft.

Now add jaggery to the rice and stir well. Add little water at this stage if needed. Jaggery gets dissolved and rice should be cooked in the jaggery syrup for at least 5 to 10 minutes.

At this stage add ghee and chopped banana pieces. Mix well.

When gudanna/mudde payasa leaves the pan and forms a lump, add honey, cardamom powder and ghee fried dry fruits(raisins+cashew nuts).

Gudanna/Mudde Payasa/Gatti paramanna is ready to be served. This is a mandatory naivedyam offered to Goddess Durga. Wish you Happy Vijaya Dashami. God bless you all.

This mudde payasa should be thick, so do not add much water.

Be generous in adding ghee and honey that gives nice texture and aroma to gudanna/mudde payasa.
