Moong Dal Halwa
It's usually made on festive occasions like Diwali, Holi etc. But, when you and your family members are foodies, then it can be made any day at your home. I learnt to prepare this halwa from my Mom. She's the best Cook in this world and this is my #favourite halwa recipe. The whole process of halwa takes a lot of work from yours hands as you've to continuously stir, stir and stir in order to avoid bumps in it and so that the mixture can be cooked properly throughout.
The halwa can be made in non-stick pan or normal kadhai. I prefer non-stick pan as it would help in easy stirring and also for the smooth texture of the halwa.
