Moong Dal Sheera

Wash & soak the moong dal in water for 5-6 hours.

Grind the dal fine in the mixer,add little water while grinding.

Take 2-3 cups of water & 2 small bowl of sugar in a container & keep it for boiling in order to make the sugar syrup.

Once the sugar dissolves in water while boiling, add 2 tblspn of milk.

The milk added helps to scoop out the dirt layer forming over the sugar syrup. Remove the scum using a strain.

Boil the mixture till we get one thread consistency sugar syrup.

To check the one thread consistency of the syrup take some syrup a spoon, let it fall, tilt the spoon and see if you get thread falling from the spoon.

Once the sugar syrup is ready, keep it aside.

Take a non stick pan/kadhai, add the clarified butter,after it melts add the fine grounded moong dal.

Keep stirring continuously, if required add some more ghee.

Cook till the dal stops sticking the vessel & turns slight golden brown.

Now slowly add the sugar syrup & cook for some time till the sugar syrup is completely absorbed.

Add the cardamom seeds or powder.

Garnish with dry fruits & serve hot.
