Best Recipe for Making Moong Dal Halwa at Home

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.
 

Continue cooking on a low flame. After the halwa is ready, transfer it into a bowl and garnish it with almonds.
