This Moong dal halwa recipe is a classic delicacy from North Indian, Rajasthani cuisine. It is prepared from ground moong dal, sugar, ghee and garnished with nuts. It is usually prepared during winter, as the mung beans keep the body warm and it is protein-rich also. This moong dal ka halwa recipe is prepared with the easily available ingredients in our kitchen pantry, but the time-consuming part is stirring which is a test for our patience. Also the more we cook the moong dal, the more it taste delicious, even no garnishing with nuts is needed, as it has an amazing taste when eaten plain also. As Navratri, Diwali festivals are in a row, do try this delicious sweet and let me know your feedback.
