Banana Sweet Sandwich (with gram lentils)

I saw this amazing recipe on Aamhi Saare Khavayye, and my mom tried it the same day, it turned out great! Its very easy and effortless.
Ingredients
1 cup gram lentils
¾ cup jaggery
2 to 3 tbspn. Ghee
3 to 4 Bananas perfectly ripe

Method

Cook the gram lentils in the pressure cooker until soft. Keep aside.
Take ½ tbspn. Ghee in a pan, add the cooked gram lentils to it, stir nicely, add jiggery and mix well, it should form into a nice paste, if you keep stirring for a while the lentils get smashed and form a paste. Switch off the flame and let it cool.
Peel off the skin of the bananas, slice them horizontally into two halves, make a sandwich by stuffing the mixture of gram lentils between the banana slices. Keep aside.
Heat the remaining ghee in a frying pan, place your stuffed banana on them and fry them till nice dark brown from both sides.
It tastes awesome!! Do try it and let me know!!
