Steps

40mins

1

Wash and soak moong dal for 3-4 hours. Drain the water. Grind it to a fine paste using mixer. Use little or no water to make the dal into a fine paste.
2

Heat a pan add ghee. Add sooji and besan, cook on low heat till it turns lightly brown. Turn the heat to low and let the ghee cool down a bit. Now add the ground dal and stir.
3

On very low heat cook the dal till it starts to brown. As the dal will get cooked it will get a sandy texture.
In another pan add water, sugar, salt, saffron and cardamom powder. Give a boil to dissolve the sugar and turn off the heat and remove.
4

Once the dal is evenly browned, add the sugar syrup. Cook till the dal absorbs all of the syrup. Add chopped nuts. Stir and serve warm.
5

Note: Dal soaking time is mandatory. Add pich salt to all the sweets you make as it will enhance the taste
