hello everyone welcome to Home Cooking
With Me Mung Dalal is an
inherently flavorful lentil it provides
a really good taste to whatever dish you
make with it we all usually make savory
dishes with mungdal
today I going to
show you a fabulous halwa recipe and
it's called of course Moon halwa and
it's quite famous so why wait let's get
started and check out the recipe for the
mongal halwa I have soaked 1 250 ml cup
of the Moon Dal so you can see I've
soaked it for about 3 hours it's nicely
plumped up so discard the water so I've
strained it completely so I'm just going
to dry it a bit and wipe off all that
excess moisture before we grind this you
can also use a regular kitchen towel to
do
this so you can also uh turn on you can
just air dry it for a couple of minutes
till it's nice and dry so these are a
couple of options to dry the
Dal so Dal is completely dried I'm going
to transfer to the mixer jar I've
transferred the soaked and dried Dal
into the mixer jar now just pulse it a
few times the mixture has to be a bit
coarse
so it's a bit coarse I'm not grounded
too
fine so first I'm going to roast the
nuts and raisins take 1 tblspoon of ghee
add about half2 cup of cash nuts chopped
keeping the flame on low just roast the
cash
nuts next I'm adding the sliced almonds
add a few sliced pistachios roast them
till they all turn to a nice golden
color so once the nuts have roasted to a
nice golden color I'm just going to
remove them and keep it
aside to the same pan add another
teaspoon of ghee I'm just going to roast
the
raisins so the raisins have plumped up
remove the raisins and keep them aside
take a nice white pan add about cup of
ghe to this I'm adding 1 tbsp of suji
and 1 tbsp of gram flour that is Basin
once you've added the suji and the Basin
roast it for about 2 minutes now add the coarsely ground mongal
mixture so we're going to cook this
mixture till it becomes nice and dry and
all that excess moisture is
evaporated
you can see the mixture's become quite
dry at this point I've been roasting
this for about 15 minutes now all that
excess moisture is evaporated and it's
got this very nice crumbly
texture so now I'm going to add 1 cup of
water next add one cup of milk now this
is boiled milk that I'm using
here keeping the flame on a low just mix
everything
nicely so I'm adding about 2 tbsp of
ghee just mix that
in so we're going to be adding ghee at
intervals to get the right texture and
consistency for the
halwa now I'm adding about 2 cups of
sugar this is a 250 ml cup
measurement so you can see the Hala is
coming together very nicely once the
sugar is dissolved it's beginning to
thicken now cooking this on a medium
high flame now you can adjust the
sweetness according to the quantity of
moong Dal that you're using and
according to your
taste so when the Alva has thickened
considerably I'm adding about4 cup of
G so now I'm going to add 1 teaspoon of
cardan powder add a few saffron
strands so I'm just adding a few nuts
now just going to save a few for later
for garnish on top
so here is his delicious mongal halwa
loaded with all those lovely rich
flavors and we've garnished it with a
lot of nuts and raisins looks absolutely
delicious make sure you serve it nice
and hot and enjoy this festive
