Sweet, ripe plantains sliced and pan-fried in fragrant ghee until caramelized and golden brown. A sprinkle of sugar and cardamom makes this a simple yet incredibly comforting South Indian snack or dessert, ready in minutes.
Peel the ripe plantains and slice them into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. If the bananas are very long, you can also slice them lengthwise and then cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Fry the banana slices in ghee. Heat the ghee in a wide, non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the ghee is hot, carefully place the banana slices in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
Remove the fried banana slices onto a plate. Immediately sprinkle with sugar and cardamom powder while they are still hot.
Serve the sweet fried bananas warm as a snack or dessert.
