Here is a simple recipe which is made easier and quicker for you to solve your cravings.

Ingredients:

5 tbsp moong dal (Soaked in water for an hour and grounded into a paste)

3 tbsp ghee

4 tbsp sugar syrup

1 crushed Elaichi

Almond slices to garnish

Method:

• Take the moong dal paste in a mug and add ghee to it. Mix them well so that they don’t make lumps and cook evenly. Put it into the microwave at medium temperature for about 5 minutes while taking it out every minute to stir. (I used the 360 degree temperature according to my LG microwave setting).

• After the daal will cook the fork will come out clean and it will give a good rise that shall make the cup full of it.

• Now add khoya and give it a good mix. Again microwave it for 1 and a half minutes on medium heat.

• Now add Sugar Syrup and Elaichi for the flavor and cook it for a minute on medium heat. 

• You can opt to ignore Khoya and sugar syrup and instead use the AMUL Mithai Mate or Nestle Milk made for similar effect and simpler ingredients.

• You halwa is ready, Garnish and Serve!
