Moong Dal Halwa Recipe: How To Make Moong Dal Sheera
Moong dal halwa is a traditional sweet recipe of Rajasthan and is prepared during festivals in other parts of the country as well. Here is a detailed preparation method along with the images and a vid
Moong dal halwa is an authentic Rajasthani delicacy that is enjoyed especially during the winter months. It is a part of every North Indian thali and is prepared by cooking ground moong dal with ghee, sugar and a whole load of dry fruits.
The moong dal halwa is also known as hesaru bele halwa in the state of Karnataka and is prepared on special occasions and festivals. The moong dal is rich in protein and hence is considered to be a very healthy choice. This can be consumed on a regular basis as well.
The moong dal sheera is usually made with milk, but in this recipe we prepare it without milk. This toothsome sweet requires full attention while cooking because it has to be stirred continuously. It takes a little less than an hour to prepare the delicacy, but is absolutely worth the time and effort.
If you are keen on preparing this inviting sweet at home, continue reading the step-by-step procedure with images and a video on how to prepare the moong dal ka halwa recipe.
