Banana milkshake comprises mashed ripe bananas mixed with sugar, nuts and cardamom powder. Ripe, sweet bananas are peeled and mashed to release their natural flavor and smooth texture and cold milk is added to create a creamy base.

I learned this recipe when I first had it in a roadside stall in a hot summer afternoon. I was afraid to ask the stall owner about the recipe, thinking it might be his trade secret but watched how he put in the ingredients in a mixie jar.
I made it for my two sons and husband the next day and they were overjoyed at its cool and refreshing taste. Though my husband said it did not need so much sugar since the bananas were ripe, my sons loved it and asked for a glass more. I was so happy for them and thanked my stars to have had the drink the day before.
