Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow moong dal
- 1 cup ghee
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- A pinch of saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
Methods
Step 1 Soak the Dal
Wash and soak the moong dal in water for 4-5 hours. Drain and grind to a coarse paste without adding water.
Step 2 Cook the Dal
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee and add the ground moong dal paste. Cook on low to medium heat, stirring continuously until the dal turns golden brown and fragrant.
Step 3 Prepare the Syrup
In a separate pan, mix water and milk. Bring to a boil, then add saffron strands.
Step 4 Combine and Cook
Slowly add the hot milk mixture to the cooked dal, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Be cautious as it might splutter. Cook until the liquid is absorbed.
Step 5 Sweeten and Flavor
Add the sugar and cardamom powder to the mixture. Cook, stirring continuously, until the halwa thickens and ghee starts to release from the sides.
Step 6 Garnish and Serve
Stir in the chopped nuts. Serve hot, garnished with additional nuts.
