GREEN PLANTAIN DESSERT/ KACHKOLAR MISTI

 

Today I am sharing a different type of dessert to you.Majority of us don't like green plantain ( kach

 kola) ,I am also in that group. Bengali uses green plantain mostly in making typical  dishes

 like"Macher jhol","Kachkolar Dalna" or " "Kach kolar kofta" like these.But today's my recipe is

 totally different from these boring preparations.

Now let get's started.

Green Plantain sweet
Ingredients:
1) Green Plantain: 2
2) Sugar syrup: 11/2 cup
3) Rose water : 2 tablespoons
4) Mace powder :2 pinches
5) Khoa : 1 cup ( if you don't have khoa in your kitchen you can use 2 cups dry milk powder.
6) Deshi ghee: 1/2 cup; you may use white oil instead of deshi ghee. In that case you add 2 tablespoons of deshi ghee with white oil.
For garnishing: cashew nuts and raisins (1/3 cup)

 Procedure: Make sugar syrup with 2 : 1 ratio of water and sugar respectively.

Peel off the skin of Plantains and wash properly. Slice green Plantain in thin wheel shapes.

 Keep these in plain water for 1/2 an hour so that all blackish elements come out from green Plantain.
Keep karai on gas oven and switch on the gas. Pour deshi ghee in sufficient amount to fry

 Plantain slices. Plantain slices should be fry in brown color. Now take out all slices from karai.

On the other hand soak mace powder in little rose water.

Crush all fried Plantain slices with the help of your palm. Add khoa with it and blend in mixture.

 Make a smooth dust.

Switch on gas and keep karai .Add khoa , Plantain mixture and sugar syrup. Stir continuously.

Be careful at this time,in some cases mixture catches the surface of karai.

While ghee separated from mixtue add mace powder and rose water mix well and transfer the

 ready item in a plain dish where spread ghee previously.It is done to take out the dessert

 pieces easily from the dish.

Place the mixture with 1/2" thickness and allow cooling.

I use cashew nuts and raisins to garnish. These are optionals.

After 1/2 an hour keeps the dish in refrigerator to set properly. Take out from refrigerator after

 1/2 an hour and cut into pieces according your choices.

Enjoy green Plantain dessert with your family in dining table. 

Happy cooking.

Thank you.
