# Do not add too much cardamom powder or it will reduce the flavor of banana.
# You can use sugar instead of condensed milk.
# Do not use under ripe ones for this halwa preparation. Nendhram pazham suits best for this recipe.
# Standing time is important after cooking. It gives the time to blend, thereby improving the taste of the food.
# Do not over-cook the halwa (once the ghee has separated). Over-cooking will cause the halwa to harden.
# Timings may differ based on the Microwave (+ or - 5 minutes). So adjust accordingly.
# Choose a deep and deep microwave safe bowl as it tends to boil over.
# You can do the same on stove-top method too. Keep stirring continuously till the mixture forms a lump and ghee oozes out.
