About this Cuisine.

---

This is a traditional and very popular cake. Our villagers have been preparing such cakes since the old days when technology was not so advanced. I heard from my mother that her grandmother also used to prepare such cakes. So it can be said that these cakes have been prepared for more than 200 years. Bananas have been produced in large quantities since long ago, so this cake made from bananas is very popular. Many of us eat banana cakes nowadays, but this traditional banana cake is not like the modern cake, but it also tastes a little different.

Narrative & Human Story

---

This cake is prepared at a specific time of the year. It is prepared in winter, especially in the months of November and December. During the winter holidays, when all the family members who are away from home for work, study or any other work return home, this cake is prepared. In short, Bengalis prepare this cake to celebrate with their family.

Now I will share with you an interesting fact about this cake, which I consider superstition but the people of the village still believe it to be true. This cake is prepared by steaming water. Many times the cake does not puff up, then the villagers believe that someone has cast an evil eye on it while preparing the cake, so it did not puff up. Actually when the cake is prepared all the ingredients are not in right amount especially baking soda is given less then it is not puffy.

Recipe of this Cake.

Used Ingredients :

• Banana - 5
• Coconut - 2
• Jaggery - 1/2 Kg
• Rice flour -1 Kg
• Sesame seeds- 2cup

Preration steps

---

First, I took the coconut and shredded it with a coconut shredder. Then, I took the ripe bananas and blended them with a little water and made a good juice. If there is no pulp in the banana, strain it well with a strainer. I used seeded bananas here. The banana juice was a little darker in color. I threw away the seeds on top.

Then I fried the sesame seeds well. You have to be careful not to deep fry them. Then I blended them. Since it is prepared in the traditional way, I ground them with a traditional grinding stone.

I prepared jaggery paste in a little hot water and mixed it with grated jaggery and coconut. Then I mixed banana juice, coconut, jaggery juice, and sesame powder together.

Finally, rice flour, baking soda, sugar are mixed with the mixture and baked in steam. This is how the traditional banana cake is prepared. One cake is served to 10-12 people. The cake is not eaten hot but cut and eaten after it cools down.
