Points to Ponder

1.Do not add more water for cooking the banans

2.check in between the bananas then u will get an idea that whether its cooked or not..

3.If you are not going to cook the bananas quickly just keep the cut pieces into the hot water.otherwise it will get a black color and also taste will goes off..
