| 1. Steam the plantains with the skin on if you have a steam cooker. Else microwave whole, skin and all, over a little water for about three to four minutes on high power. This enhances the sweetness of the plantains. Make a few slits in the skin of the plantains. You can even cut them in half. Allow to cool and skin them. I apologise for leaving this part out to those who may have already tried this! | 2. Mash the ripe plantains with the milk, the sugar and half the butter. I use a food processor as it blends the bananas well. Keep aside. | 3. Melt the rest of the butter on a low flame (Use a non-stick pan). Add the cashews and saute till golden. Add the mashed ingredients and the raisins. | 4. Increase the heat and mix in the allspice. Continue blending in until the halwa is sticky and leaves the pan. Remove from heat. | 5. Allow to cool and set in a greased pan/plate. Cut into little squares. | 6. You can serve this warm or cold! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
