Cooking instructions

* Step 1

For the coconut mixture: In a pan on medium heat, add sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Turn the heat to low and add in the freshly grated coconut and cardamon powder. Keep stirring until the syrup thickens and the sugar is absorbed in the coconut mixture.

* Step 2

To caramelize the bananas: Chop the bananas in small cubes. In a pan, add butter and allow it to melt. Add cashew nuts and fry until slightly golden. Keep it aside. In the same pan, add butter and fry the chopped bananas until they get slightly brown in colour. Sprinkle 2 tbsp of sugar on top, and cook on medium high heat till the sugar gets stuck on to the bananas with a slight caramelized effect. Turn off the heat. Mix together the caramelized bananas & coconut mixture. Keep this aside.

* Step 3

To make the sandwich: Slice the bread diagonally into 2 slices. Grease the plates of a sandwich maker with butter and place the bread. Spread 1-2 spoonfuls of the caramelized banana-coconut filling on top of the bread. Place another slice of bread on top. Spread butter on top of the bread. Close the lid and toast the bread. Repeat the process with the other slices. Serve warm.
