Add this to a hot frying pan ( nonstick better) and let it sear.
Add the water to it and set this to a boil.
As the water boils, add the crushed jaggery.
Let it simmer till the plantain is fork tender and the jaggery coats well on it.
Add the cardamom powder and ghee.
Mix well. Now the jaggery coating sticks better on the plantains.
Remove the slices into a serving dish and the dessert is ready to serve.
Notes
Purifying the jaggery
Some types of jaggery have a bit of dirt and sand in them. In this case, melt the jaggery separately with the water and use that with the seared plantains.
Serving with icecream
This dessert tastes even more delicious when served with ice cream. Serve up a dollop of the vanilla or chocolate ice cream and top it up with these slices. Drizzle the cardamom-infused jaggery syrup ( leftover in the pan) on top of the ice cream. The dessert is instantly upgraded!!
