Moong Dal Halwa
When someone first said ‘Moong Dal Halwa’ to me, I raised my eyebrows, mumbled “weirdo,” and swiftly scuttled away. When I finally tasted it, I groaned as I lamented all the wasted opportunities where I had shunned this slurp-worthy treat. Now, I scramble for it whenever I see the golden-hued, melt-in-the-mouth dessert. The only words that come out of my mouth are, “Please, Sir, may I have some more!” The humble moong whips itself into a superstar, its nutty flavors harmonizing with the sweetness of milk, cream and sugar. Gracing festive occasions and special celebrations, this aromatic halwa is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece that captivates the palate.
