The basic anatomy of any halwa is – ghee, the star ingredient that you have chosen, a sweetener of your choice, water or/and milk. In this recipe, the star ingredient is split and husked mung beans. The halwa made with mung beans has attained an exalted status among all kinds of halwa. Don’t ask me the reason for that (coz I have no idea) but it is served diligently during north Indian weddings especially during winter. I find it extremely rich and I have never been able to go beyond a few teaspoons of it. But I have seen many people enjoying it to the hilt with bowls full! There are many ways to make this halwa. Some people use roasted and coarsely ground dal to make halwa, others soak and make a paste ot the dal and then roast it to make the halwa. I am sharing the traditional method, i.e. making paste and roasting it.So lets start the recipe.
