Moong Dal Halwa

Roast the main ingredient in ghee until the raw smell goes and it glistens.

Add milk and simmer, stirring, until absorbed.

Add sugar — the mix loosens, then thickens again.

Cook until the halwa leaves the sides of the pan.

Stir in cardamom, saffron and fried nuts.

Serve warm — with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like.
