Dessert made with lentils and flavored delicately with green cardamom.
Nothing is more comforting than dessert. When it comes to talking about Indian desserts moong dal ka halwa is one such dish that can’t be left out. Be it that smoky flavor of the roasted dal, or the crumbly texture there is something very heavenly about it. But what isn’t happening is the time consuming and tedious process to make it. So here I have a very simple recipe of the Moong dal halwa that doesn’t require much cooking time. It tastes yummy just like the halwai made halwa we have at the weddings.

Heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan/ kadai and the chopped nuts and raisins. Roast till light golden and remove.
4

Heat 4 tbsp of ghee in the same heavy bottomed pan/ kadai and roast the dal. Roast it for about 5-6 minutes.
5

Add the milk to it and mix well. Keep stirring to avoid formation of lumps. Now add 1 cup of water. Cook it on low heat while stirring in between.

As the halwa starts to cook it will start thickening up. Now it’s the time to add sugar. Mix well and keep cooking while stirring continuously. Add the nuts and raisins. Mix well.

Pour in the rest of the ghee and cook for 2-3 minutes. Finally add the cardamom powder and mix. Remove from heat and serve.
