Rasayana - Banana & Almonds with Jaggery
Tuesday, February 24, 2009We all love fruit salads don't we? Ever since I remember, I have always loved fruits. As a kid, I gorged on them like there is no tommorow.
Today I have for you a super easy fruit salad, made with banana chunks, coconut & jaggery. This is more of a traditional salad made during the olden days mainly as an offering to God, I made this today for Maha Shivratri ...

Enjoi !!!
If you want to cut down on custard & sugar in fruit salads, then this is for you ..
This one does taste different from the regular fruit salads. The slight sweetness from jaggery & creamy coconut coats well with banana & chopped almonds add a nice cruch. I sometimes have this as an evening snack too ..
NOTE:
- Serve as a dessert topped with vanilla ice cream.
- Though, traditional Rasayana calls for bananas, you could add other fruits like apple, pineapple, orange, grapes etc. to this
