QUICK AND EASY MOONG DAL HALWA

BY SHWETA GALINDE

Moong Dal Halwa is a classic recipe that is relished throughout Rajasthan. It is a popular Indian sweet often served in parties. It is super tasty and is often prepared during the winter months, as it is supposed to keep the body warm. Made with Mung beans, ghee and dry fruits, this dessert is very common in the States of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. It is considered to be auspicious for Holi and Diwali and on weddings occassions.

It takes a long time and lots of patience to prepare this halwa and requires a little extra ghee too. The more we sauté moong dal, the more delicious will be the Halwa. You can make a larger quantity of this recipe and store it refrigerated for several weeks. Just add a little milk to the halwa before reheating it. This rich moong dal preparation is garnished with raisins and chopped nuts.

This recipe is a quick and easy one .
