Description

Moong Dal Halwa is a quintessentially rich and sumptuous dessert originating from the heart of North India, celebrated across the Indian subcontinent for its exquisite taste and texture. This decadent sweet dish is made from moong dal (split yellow lentils), which is soaked, ground to a paste, and then painstakingly cooked in a generous amount of ghee (clarified butter) until it achieves a deep, golden hue and a delightfully granular texture. The slow cooking process is essential, transforming the simple ingredients into a luxurious and aromatic delight. As the lentils cook, the mixture is sweetened with sugar and flavored with fragrant cardamom, often embellished with a lavish touch of saffron soaked in warm milk to impart a beautiful color and a subtle but distinctive flavor. This meticulous preparation results in a rich halwa that is both velvety and dense, with the ghee lending an incomparable melt-in-the-mouth quality. The halwa is traditionally enriched further with a variety of nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and cashews, which are lightly toasted and then stirred into the halwa or used as a garnish, adding a delightful crunch and nuttiness to the creamy backdrop. for Direct Sourcing from India Please Visit
