Halwa is one of the most popular sweets in India. This delicacy is often made for festivals and special occasions. It has several lip-smacking variations across the country. From atta halwa to pineapple halwa, you may have tasted different varieties. But have you ever come across banana leaf halwa? Recently, a vlogger tried his hand at making this unusual dish. He shared a reel documenting the method he followed, and it has gone viral. In the Instagram video by great_indian_asmr, we see the vlogger first cleaning the banana leaves and removing the stem that runs through the centre. Once done, he flattens the leaves, rolls them and cuts them to make strips. He mixes these strips with a little water in a blender to form a green puree. He collects the puree in a cloth and passes it through a strainer.

Next, the vlogger heats ghee in a pan and adds the green juice to it. He also adds sugar, cornflour slurry and nuts. He cooks the mixture until it thickens to the typical halwa consistency. Finally, he tastes his own creation. Wondering what he felt about it? Watch the complete viral video below (and don't forget to keep the sound on).
