Blog Anniversary and Shahi Moong Dal Halwa

Celebrating my 1st Blog Anniversary and also the 100th post with our traditional Indian sweet Shahi Moong Dal Halwa. One year back, I started Dees Kitchen on last Christmas. I am very proud of this milestone. Thank you so much all my readers and blogger friends, and of course my family. It's been a lovable journey for me. I made so many blogger friends and learnt a lot. Here is the recipe of Shahi Moong Dal Halwa...





Ingredients
Moong Dal Paste      1 bowl
Desi Ghee                    1 bowl
Mawa/Khoya               1 bowl
Sugar                          1/2 bowl
Water                         1 bowl
Cinnamon Powder       a pinch
Cardamom Powder     1/4 tsp
Almonds/Pistachio


Method


* Wash and soak dal in water for 3-4 hours.
* Grind the dal without water in grinder to make a very thick past. Grind it little coarsely.
* Heat Ghee in a non stick pan.
* Add dal paste and roast it till light brown in color and a nice aroma came in. Keep stirring continuously.
* It will take about 20 to 25 minutes.
* Meanwhile on the other burner heat sugar and water together. Bring it to a boil. Switch off the fire.

* Now add sugar syrup and mix very well.
