Start with The Banana Part. Get 3 bananas. Cut them in rounds. In a deep skillet or kadhai, heat about 4 Tbs of unsalted butter. When the butter melts add in about 4 Tbs of Indian jaggery or if you haven't got that, dark brown sugar. When the sugar has dissolved in the butter, toss in the banana pieces and coat them well. When the bananas are cooked and glossy (this only takes a few minutes) add in 1/2 cup of grated unsweetened coconut. I've been lucky enough to score a sample of Tropical Traditions Organic Grated Coconut and so I used that. Wheeeee! Here it goes. Blend it in well, then take the bananas off the heat and set them aside to cool. Now on to the ice cream part. I decided a Sweet Lassi Rose Ice Cream would be great with the bananas. This is what I did. In a large bowl mix: 3/4 cup of sugar 2 cups of buttermilk Whisk it together well until the sugar is blended in then add in: 2 cups of whipping cream 1 tsp of rose water a pinch of kosher salt. Pour everything into an ice cream maker and process as usual. Put it into the freezer until you're ready. Now for the Sirkhand. Take a cup of yogurt and place it in a yogurt strainer suspended over a glass. Let it drain for at least 4 hours, or until it's slightly thickened. Mix in a bit of powdered sugar to sweeten it slightly. Putting It All Together. This took some thought. I tried it a few different ways, (of course I had to sample the various versions) and finally at Alan's suggestion I found the way that worked. This is it. I had several grappa glasses, small, slender glasses just a fit for an iced tea spoon. I stacked my fillings into the glasses. On the bottom a bit of sirkhand for a slightly tartish( is that a word) finish. next a sprinkling of finely chopped pistachio nuts 3 rounds of the cooked coconut coated bananas 2 rounds of Sweet Rose Lassi Ice Cream A small sprinkle of chopped pistachio nuts There it is. When a spoon is dipped in one gets all the flavors of a banana split, without the traditional shape. With the butter and coconut and jaggery flavor, a small dessert goes a long way. It's rich but not heavy, and Alan reports that no weight was gained in the consumption of this Banana Split, but full pleasure was experienced. A win/win. So there it is, my version of a Banana Split. If you'd like to make a virtual Banana Split yourself, visit Kelly Ripas' website and create one.
