Today's recipe is a simple & delicious yellow moong dal halwa .I have used jaggery instead of sugar which makes it so healthy as well as yummy.You can serve this hot or chilled.

Ingredients

1 cup yellow moong dal(washed well & soaked in 3 cups of  water for 2 hours.

1 cup of grated jaggery/gul

1/2 cup of clarified butter/ghee

1 cup fine semolina/rawa

1 tbsp of chickpea flour/besan

1 tsp cardamom/elaichi powder(3-4 elaichis)

1/4 cup of chopped dry fruits(like almonds,pistachois,cahewnuts etc)

Method

Drain all the water from the soaked moong dal and grind it to a very smooth paste.Do not add any water while grinding the paste.

To a cooking pot add 1 cup of water (the flame/fire has not been lit yet)add the grated jaggery to the water ,mix well,Now transfer the pot onto a gas top and cook on a low to medium flame,stirring in intervals till all teh jaggery dissolves.

 In a separate pan,heat the ghee,add the semolina & chickpea flour,stir well,add the moong dal paste,stir well for 2-3 mins.Cook the mixture well in the ghee,The mixture will absorb all of the ghee,add the cardamom powder,mix well.strain the jaggery syrup (very important to strain it,you can strain it in advance nd transfer it to a bowl and set aside too or like I did directly strain it into the cooked mixture)Mic everything really well.

The consistency will now change to a smooth consistency like a sheera.Add the dry fruits ,mix well.cook for another 2-3 mins.
