Moong daal halwa
@Mubina_18

½ cup moong daal
½ cup ghee (Clarified butter)
½ cup sugar
2 cups milk
pinch of saffron
1 teaspoon Elaichi powder
Pinch of nutmeg powder
2 tablespoon milk powder
sliced nuts
3 tablespoons water, to grind the daal

Wash and soak the moong daal overnight. Drain the water and grind the daal using very little water.
I used around 3 tablespoons, start with 1 tablespoon and add more as required to grind.
Meanwhile heat ghee (Clarified butter) in a pan on medium heat.
Once the ghee (Clarified butter) is hot add the grind daal to the pan.
Now comes the fun part - exercise! Keep stirring and cooking the halwa on low heat. Keep mashing with a spatula so that there aren't any lumps.
heat 2 cups of milk. Once the milk is warm, add Elaichi powder,saffron and nutmeg powder keep aside.
You have to cook on low flame till raw smell goes away and color changes a bit. This will take around 20 minutes and at 20 minutes you will also notice ghee (Clarified butter) oozing out of the sides.
Once the daal is roasted, add the 2 cups warm milk to it. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
Now add the sugar and chopped nuts.
Cook on low heat, keep stirring every now and then.
Keep stirring till halwa leaves sides of the pan, around 15-20 minutes.
Remove heat from pan, transfer halwa to serving bowl, garnish with some nuts and serve immediately!
