Moong Dal Halwa is amoung my favourite recipes which I prepared yesterday. It came out very nice. You don't even need lot of ingredients to make it. I used powdered sugar in this recipe but you can balance it out by adding jaggery or use sugar as required. It is a festive special recipe that can have protein too. 😊So try once and I would say you will surely love it!
