Vegan Kelyache Shikran - 5 Minute Indian Banana Pudding Dessert


Fall is in the air here in Detroit, and that has me thinking about warmer weather. If we can't bring ourselves to the tropics, we can at least bring a taste of the tropics to us.

Kelyache Shikran is a very fast, simple dish from the Indian state of Maharashtra, my husband's home state. It can be eaten for breakfast, dessert, or as a accompaniment to a spicy amti or curry.

Ingredients:
1 ripe banana, sliced or diced
1 tsp sugar, optional (if you are using sweetened milk, this may be unnecessary)
1/2 Cup nondairy milk
5 pods cardamom, smashed or a pinch of ground cardamom

Method:
1. Mix all ingredients together, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

2. Serve at room temperature or cool in the fridge before serving.

    1. Either sweetened or unsweetened milk is fine. It is a sweet dish anyway. I just usually have unsweetened on hand.

  4. I love cardamom so much! It's a great spice for autumn and I keep adding it to everything, so why not for dessert?
