Moong Dal Halwa

This recipe comes after multiple requests from my husband.

I finally dared to prepared the moong dal halwa and it turned out super awesome.

Ingredients:

Yellow Moong Dal - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Cardamom Powder

Ghee - 1 cup

Semolina/ Rawa - 1 tbsp

Besan - 1 tbsp

Pista - handful

Almonds - handful

Procedure:

1. Soak 1 cup yellow moong dal for 3-4 hours. Rinse out all the water and then grind it coarsely in a mixer and keep aside.

2. Take a wok, Add 1 cup Ghee. Ghee is one of the key ingredients in this recipe.

3. Once it is boiling, add 1 tbsp semolina.

4. Next add 1 tbsp besan and stir well till golden brown. Adding semolina and besan prevents the moong dal (which will be added next) from sticking to the pan.

5. Next add the  ground yellow moong dal and stir it nicely. Cook it on a low flame. Keep stirring.

6. In the meantime, in a separate wok, mix 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar and let it boil.

7. Add the cardamom powder.

8. Once it is boiling, add this to the moong dal and keep stirring on a low flame till the ghee is oozing out.

Garnish it with chopped pista and almonds.

The delicious Moong Dal Halwa is ready.

Serve it hot or chilled.
