Rava banana sheera is nothing but an Indian pudding made with rava/semolina and banana. Any type of banana can be used in this recipe. I have used small elakki bananas. Some people even add milk to this recipe, but I prefer making it without milk. This recipe can also be called as banana kesari or rava kesari with banana.
