Moong Dal Halwa

Moong Dal Halwa  

Since our childhood we have been eating gajar ka halwa, panjeeri, aate ke laddoo, daal ki pinni etc. however today kids want pastries, cakes or chocolates etc for sweets. Richness of dry fruits with handsome ghee is totally missing in modern sweet products.

Recently during my hubby's birthday, there was a small get together at home and I thought of preparing and serving moong daal halwa to give our kids flavour of original authentic dishes of our culture. So i prepared that, it needs lot of attention, care and love and only then you get the right output.

I was delighted that I could do justice with this as it came out very nicely and I got nice compliments on my cooking.
