This moong dal halwa is a popular indian sweet mostly served in rajasthan and uttar pradesh.I had tasted it once many years ago. I had been to a red cross camp from school to goas IHM.There we had a lunch, this was once among their deserts.That time i dint know anything about this dish. I just took it from the desert section.There were more 2-3 types of deserts there but i randomely selected this one. I liked the taste very much, so much that i still remember it.Some days ago i came across its recipe on a recipe site, I decided to give it a try. It turned out superb.I was happy that i got the exact recipe of a dish which i had liked.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups moong dal
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup mawa
1 cup ghee
1/2 cup mixed dry fruits(almonds, pistachoes,cashewnuts,rasins)
METHOD:
Soak moong dal in water for atlest 5-6 hours. Drain the water and grind it using very little water to form a paste.
Heat a kadai.Add ghee.When its fully heated add the ground paste and stir.Let it cook on medium flame until it turns to brown colour and a aroma comes from it. It leaves the ghee from it.It takes approx 20-25 mins.
Simultaneosly mix sugar with water and heat it. It should become a thick sugar syrup.One string sugar syrup.
When the paste is fully cooked and browned, add milk in it and mix well. Now add the mawa and stir. The milk should get completely mixed with it and the halwa should thicken and form a paste.
Now add the sugar syrup in it and mix. Let it get cooked till the whole halwa becomes one mass.Add the dryfruits and remove from flame.
Serve hot or chilled.
NOTE: One string sugar syrup -when the sugar syrup is thickened take one drop of it on one finger and touch the other finger ot it. If it gets sticked to it and when pulled forms one string its called one string sugar syrup.
