I am back and I am hungry..... this is Rocky Mayur style .... "Highway on my Plate" fame.
Well really back after a long time .... its not that I was not cooking but was not keeping up well for long..... but now I promise I will be posting oftenly for all those who are following me if there are any :-(.....
Anyways today morning I cooked "Moong Dal Halwa" it came out very well I may say.....I am not being Apne mooh miyaan mithu it seriously came out well..........
One must try but need some real patience preparing it....Moong Dal Halwa is a  North Indian sweet, usually prepared in winters. It's very appetizing and tastes great during cold winter evenings.
So here goes the recipe....

Ingredients :-

Moong dal- 100 gm
Ghee - 100 gm
Mawa (Khoya) - 50 gm
Sugar - 150 gm
Cashew Nuts - 20 (Cut each cashew into 4 pieces)
Dried Raisins - 20
Cardamom - 4 (Peeled and grinded)
Almonds - 5 (Cut them length wise into small pieces)

Prepration :-

Wash the moong dal and soak it in water for 4 to 5 hours.
Take out the moong dal from water and grind it, without water. Don't grind it too fine. Heat the frying pan and put ghee and moong dal in the frying pan, then stir with the frying spoon, on medium flame. In 15 to 20 minutes moong dal will be properly cooked (The properly cooked moong dal doesn't stick to the frying pan and you can see the ghee getting separated from moong dal). Moong dal is cooked now.
Put mawa(khoya) in a separate frying pan and cook on low flame. Then mix it in the moong dal.
Put 100 gm sugar and water in a utensil and heat it. When the water starts boiling cook for another 5 minutes on low flame, and prepare a wire like syrup.
Mix this syrup in the moong dal, along with cashew nuts and raisins. Now stir this halwa on low flame. In about 5 to 7 minutes halwa will be ready. Now turn off the burner. Mix the grinded cardamoms in the halwa. Halwa is ready to eat.
Take out the halwa in a bowl and garnish it with almonds.
