Moong dal halwa recipe is a rich, creamy dessert that is prepared from split yellow moong dal and is divine in taste.

- Wash three cups of yellow moong dal and remove the dirt in it. Soak the dal for 4-5 hours and you will see that the dal will swell up. Drain the extra water and rinse the dal once again.
- Now grind the dal in a mixer into a fine paste without adding any water. The paste should be very fine in texture and you can check this by rubbing it between the fingers.
- Heat 1.5 cups of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan and add the dal paste and start sautéing. As soon as you mix the dal mixture, it will soak the ghee and a thick ball of dough will be prepared.
- Add grated khoya to it and keep stirring and you will soon notice the color of the dish changing from light yellow to brown color.
- After it is roasted, add saffron and mix. Add a little bit of cream, cardamom powder and sugar till it blends well with the ghee and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
- Your moong dal halwa is ready to be served. Garnish it with chopped almonds and serve.
