Moong dal halwa is a traditional Indian dessert made from yellow moong dal, ghee, sugar, and milk or water and is garnished with dry fruits. Originating from the Rajasthan, it is particularly popular in the northern indian states. It is typically prepared during winter months and festive occasions such as Diwali, Holi, and weddings.
Preparation
To prepare Moong Dal Halwa, yellow moong dal is soaked for a few hours and ground into a coarse paste. The paste is then slowly roasted in ghee until golden brown and aromatic. A hot mixture of sugar and milk or water is added, and the halwa is cooked until thick and smooth. Cardamom powder is added for flavor, and the dish is garnished with chopped dry fruits. The process is time-consuming and requires constant stirring to avoid burning. ==See also==
