Chenda Murian is a snack, you can have it anytime. Its taste is amazing.
INGREDIENTS:
- Ripe Plantain - 1
- Jaggery - 100 gm
- Cardamom Powder - 1/2 Tsp (Optional)
- Ghee - 1/2 Tsp (optional)
- Dried ginger (chukku) - a pinch
METHOD:
- Wash and cut head and tail end of plantains using a knife.
- If you want, you can cut plantains into 4 or 5 pieces crosswise.
- Steam-cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes, until they soften.Remove the steam basket from steamer and let them cool.
- Otherwise take the ripe plantains in a microwave safe plate and cook for 3 minutes.This is the easiest method to cook the ripe plantains.Remove from the microwave and let it cool.
- The outer skin will turn black and insides will turn soft.
- Peel the skin,cut the Banana into small pieces. Though the below picture shows it cut into a comparatively small size.
- Take the jaggery and add it in a pan with 1 cup of water and let it dissolve completely. Once dissolved, filter the sediments.
- Take a fresh pan and add the filtered jaggery water and keep it at high flame till it thickens (not too thick).
- Take the peeled bananas and add them to the jaggery water.
- Ensure the pieces get uniformly covered with jaggery but do not get squashed and individual pieces remain separate.
- Add Cardamom Powder, it gives a nice flavor to the Chenda Murian and once it is mixed, add a pinch of dried ginger powder and mix well then we can remove Chenda Murian from the flame.
- Finally, a spoon of ghee can be added. This again improves the flavor but you can avoid ghee to make the Chenda Murian completely healthy.
- You can have it with Bread or Wheat flour, Rice flour or Rava/semolina Puttu.
