1. Peel and, if needed, seed the plantains. In a food processor or a blender, process them until smooth. Transfer to a medium wok or saucepan, add the ghee, and cook, stirring, over moderately high heat, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the sugar and cook until the mixture bubbles vigorously. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the halva thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.
3. Transfer the halva into a lightly greased tray with raised edges and spread to a thickness of 1 inch. Sprinkle the cardamom seeds on top and allow the halva to cool to room temperature. Serve as is, or cut into squares or rectangles.
