Serves – 6-8

Ingredients:
Yellow moong dal (split yellow gram) – 1 cup
Full-fat milk – 1 cup
Ghee (clarified butter) – 1/3 cup (67 g) + 2 tbsp
Sugar – 1 cup or as per taste
Cardamom powder – 1 tbsp
Chopped nuts (Almond, pistachio, cashews)
Mawa/Khoya – 1/2 cup

Instructions:

1. Soak the yellow moong dal in enough water for 3-4 hours. Drain the excess water and wash well.

2. Grind soaked dal in a mixer to a make coarse paste. If needed add very little (about 2 tbsp) water, but don’t too much water while grinding dal, as it will take more time in sautéing.

3. Heat the 4 tbsp ghee in a non-stick pan, add the grounded moong dal paste and cook on a medium-low heat. (Add 4 tbsp ghee every 5 minutes, until the 1/2 cup ghee is used.)

4. Keep stirring the halwa until the raw smell is gone and dal is dry. It would take about 25-30 mins.

5. Add the milk and let it cook until the dal is dry again.

6. Add mawa and cook for 5-7 mins or until the ghee leaves the sides. Don’t forget to stir continuously.

7. Add sugar, mix well and cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir continuously.

8. Add cardamom powder, chopped nuts and ghee. Mix well and cook on a medium heat for 1 minute, until the ghee leaves the sides. Stirring continuously.

9. Garnish with dried rose petals and more nuts.

10. You can store this halwa for up to 4 weeks. Refrigerate it in an air-tight container.
