Notes
The quantities are approximate, as it depends on individual tastes.
You can make it thick or thin.
Jaggery can be replaced with sugar.
You can mash the banana with a masher, but it tastes better when done with the hand! ;)
Since mashed with hand, try to finish it in a couple of hours as chances of spoilage are high.
