Let's prepare something different this Shivaratri with a Bengali twist with season special "nolen gur". Nolen gur is also known as jhola gur or date palm jaggery. It is a type of jaggery made from the sap of date palm trees. Its a popular ingredient in traditional Bengali desserts and beverages and it adds taste like caramel.

Steps

Around half an hour

1

First take a pan, add ghee in it. Let it become hot, then add rava into it. Cook it on low to medium flame for about 8 to 10 minutes. After 10 mins you will notice that the rava has started to turn golden in colour. (badami rang)
2

Until its done, fry chopped nuts and raisins in a tsp of ghee over a tadka pan and keep it aside.
3

Now add chopped banana in the suji mixture. Mash the banana pieces well with the suji. It will now become a grainy texture. Cook for one to two minutes until it gets mixed well with the suji, as shown in the images below.
4

Until its getting cooked, take the hot milk in a separate pan and add nolen gurr in it and mix it. Boil the milk once again after adding the jaggery as shown below.
5

Now add this milk in the suji mixture and gradually start mixing it. Keep the flame at the lowest. Add elaichi powder and chironji at this stage and give everything a gentle mix. Now cover the pan and let it cook for about 8 mins on a low flame.
6

After 10 mins open the lid and give it a gentle mix. Then add chopped fried nuts and raisins to it and mix them with the suji. (prepared in step 2)
7

Now switch off the flame. Serve it to Shiv Ji as prasad. You can prepare it for any pooja/occasion or even normally for your feeding purpose. It just tastes heaven with season special nolen gur.
