(moony dal, dhuli) 1 cup Mawa (khoya) % cup<br />
Sugar 1 cup Ghee 1 cup<br />
Saffron a generous pinch Almonds 10-12<br />
METHOD OF PREPARATION<br />
1 Wash and soak the moong dal for six hours. Grind coarsely using very little<br />
water.<br />

boiling hot water for five minutes. Cool and peel them, cut them into thin slivers.<br />
^^ 4 Heat ghee in a thick-bottomed pan and add the ground moong dal. Keep stirring<br />
over a low flame till the dal turns golden brown. This needs time and patience.<br />
Do not rush through this step.<br />

and the halwa is <strong>of</strong> dropping consistency. Add mawa and cook till it dissolves.<br />

Chef's Tip: Add one tblspn bescrn to melted ghee before putting the ground moong dal. It<br />
helps in even cooking <strong>of</strong> ground moong dal and also avoids lump formation during cooking.
