Moong Dal  halwa recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup Moong dal (split yellow lentils)

1 cup ghee (clarified butter)

1 cup sugar

4 cups water

1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

A few strands of saffron

Chopped nuts (for garnish)

Instructions:

• Wash the moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for at least 2 hours.

• Drain the water and grind the dal in a food processor until it becomes a coarse paste.

• Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the Moong dal paste.

• Cook the dal over low heat, stirring continuously, until it turns golden brown and starts to release the aroma of cooked lentils.

• In a separate pan, bring water to a boil and add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands.

• Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, and then add this mixture to the moong dal paste.
• Keep stirring the halwa until the water evaporates, and the ghee starts to separate from the lentil paste.

• Turn off the heat, and garnish the halwa with chopped nuts before serving.

• Your delicious Moong Dal Halwa is ready to be served!
