Instructions
- Soak yellow moong dal in sufficient water for 2-3 hours till it puffs up nicely.
- Drain extra water and grind the dal in mixer grinder to form a coarse paste without using water.
- Melt desi ghee in a heavy bottom kadai or non stick kadai leaving 1 cup of desi ghee aside.
- Add the yellow moong dal paste into it. Initially the paste is very sticky so it tends to stick and becomes lumpy. So stir the paste continuously on low flam
- Keep on cooking the paste till the halwa gets to a granular consistency and the colour of paste turns little light golden. It will take 30 minutes.
- Add cream and cook for some more time till ghee separates.
- Add 1 cup desi ghee to give more shine to halwa. Add chopped/sliced dry fruits.
- To enhance the colour of halwa, add saffron strands soaked in warm milk. Add cardamon powder in the same mixture.
- Simultaneously, heat 10 cups of water in a pan. Once the halwa leaves ghee, add hot water, sugar in the mixture. Mix well.
- The water will evaporate after some time. Keep on stirring the halwa till it dries up nicely and ghee separates from the halwa.

Notes
- Usually equal quantity of sugar is added. However if you like more sweet, then sugar can be increase.
- Dal to water ratio is 1:10. Milk can also be added instead of water. Half milk and half water can also be an option. The ratio will remain same.
- The above quantity yields 3.5 kg halwa. However if you wish to reduce the quantity, then use half or one-fourth quantity of all the ingredients.
