Ingredients
- 2–3 tablespoons Takmeeli Talbeena Vanilla
- 1 cup milk (or water)
- 1 small ripe banana, sliced
- 2–3 dates, stones removed, chopped
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Method
- Slice the banana and chop the dates; keep them ready.
- Add the Talbeena to a small pan and stir in the milk a little at a time.
- Cook on a low to medium flame for 3–5 minutes, stirring all the time.
- Take it off the heat once it is smooth and creamy.
- Pour into a bowl and top with the banana and dates.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon if you like, and serve warm.
Tips
- Add the banana after cooking, not in the pan, so it keeps its shape.
- Soft dates such as Medjool or Kimia are easiest to chop.
- Vanilla is the mildest flavour, so the fruit taste comes through clearly.
Questions people ask
Can I cook the banana with the Talbeena?
You can, but it turns soft and changes the texture. Most people prefer it sliced on top.
Which flavour works best with fruit?
Vanilla, because it is the mildest. Elaichi also goes well with banana.
