Ingredients
4 ripe bananas
3 rounds of flatbread or malawach, torn
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp ghee
4 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp ground cardamom
2 tbsp powdered sugar
Black sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1Tear flatbread into small pieces and lightly toast in a dry skillet until slightly crispy around the edges.
2Peel bananas and mash roughly in a large bowl, leaving some chunks for texture.
3Add the toasted bread pieces to the mashed banana and mix together, crushing and folding until combined.
