Ingredients

Method

1. Soak moong dal overnight. Grind it fine with minimum water.





2. Chop almonds coarsely lengthwise and keep aside.



3. Add sugar and water in a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it cook till one wire consistency. Add crushed cardamom for flavor. Keep it aside.





4. Heat ghee in a large wok and when it melts, add the ground moong dal. Reduce the heat to minimum and start whisking till the dal is completely mixed with the ghee. Now turn up the heat to medium and keep whisking, it will start to thicken. Once it becomes too thick to whisk, you can use spatula to stir the dal. If you don’t stir it constantly, it will form lumps.





















5. It will slowly start to brown and ghee will start to come out. At this point you can transfer it to a nonstick pan because it will easy to stir it in a fresh pan and now it’s not going to stick to the bottom. You can keep using the same wok if you want.





6. Once it gets the color you like, push it to one side and add previously melted khoya on the other side. Stir khoya on the other side and remove all the lumps
7. Once khoya has melted and there are no lumps, mix it with the dal.



8. Now add the warm sugar syrup and mix well. Once it’s fully mixed, turn off the heat and cover the pan. Leave it for at least 10 minutes for it to absorb the syrup.





9. After 10 minutes open it and Moong Ki Dal Ka Halwa is ready.



10. Garnish with almonds and serve it warm.
