Moong dal halwa is not only nutritious but it’s also delectable. The season of winter is perfect for making it at home. 
 

1 cup yellow moong dal
1 cup milk
2 pinches of saffron
Half tsp cardamom powder
2 tsp chopped almonds
1 tbsp desi ghee
1 cup sugar

Soak washed moong dal for 6 hours. Once the dal absorbs enough water, drain them and grind them in a mixer. Ensure that the dal retains a slightly coarse texture.
 

Take lukewarm milk in a cup. Add kesar to the milk and dissolve it. Once the saffron has fully dissolved, set it aside. 
 

Add one tbsp of ghee to a heated pan over medium heat. Add the moong dal mixture. Stir the dal until it attains a light brown colour. 
 

Add a cup of lukewarm water and some milk to it. Proceed to add sugar to the mixture. Finally, add the saffron milk and sprinkle cardamom powder & mix the ingredients thoroughly.
