4. wait for it to cool down and put it into the fridge to serve cold.

Notes:
i was wondering about the best name to represent the pengat pisang with. FYI, there are a few methods to prepare banana dessert. for those who are health conscious and calorie counting, they can have the banana savoury sans milk as follows:

the gravy is translucent

the gravy is made with translucent sago and a dash of milk for the creamy taste

my fave is of course the one without the coconut milk/full cream milk. other than that, there is also the fried banana with sugar as follows:

banana is fried in 2 spoons of oil and when it's brown, serve it with sugar sprinkles. Easy oh!

half tub of gula melaka(palm brown sugar)

sugar, to taste

3 Pandan leaves

How to Enjoy it with less calorie:

Notes:
the blogspot is misbehaving in a way that i cannot control much its' setting and whatnots, it's kinda frustrating! anyway, this durian gravy is a must eat for any durian lover, especially the new one. it's not that smelly and when you got a durian that isn't so sweet, you can convert it into a very nice dessert and still manage to sample the goodness of this king of fruit. happy trying!
