Ingredients:
1 cup moong dal soaked for ½ an hour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup ghee
2 to 2 ½ cups sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder
2 tbs cashew nuts chopped and fried in ghee
Few drops of orange food colouring plus 2 tbs of milk.
A pinch of salt
Method:
Heat little ghee in a wok, add the flour and stir fry until there is a nice aroma. Keep aside .
Cook the moong dal in 3 cups of water till soft.
Mash till smooth, or blend when cold.
Add sugar to this mixture.
In a wok add the moong dal sugar mixture, roasted flour
Orange colour and the ghee.
Cook the mixture till the whole thing becomes a mass and leaves the sides of the wok. You have to cook on medium heat and keep on stirring, so that it would not get burnt.
When the halwa is cooked add the cardamom powder and the roasted nuts. Dish out on to a container and level with a spoon.
Let it cool before cutting it into slices.
You can even serve the halwa hot
Note: In Malaysia they have a moog dal halwa
called "kuih kole kachang"
they use brown sugar, fried moong dal powder
and coconut milk. They garnish with the coconut
residue that is left after making the coconut oil.
Its vey tasty.
