Serving Size          :  4

Preparation Time : 15 minutes

Cooking Time       : 20 min

Difficulty

Quantity Ingredients for Asoka Halwa Recipe
1/2 cup Moong Dhal (Paasi Paruppu) 100 gram
2 tbsp  Wheat flour or Maida
1 cupSugar (200 gram) 
1/2 cup Ghee (120 ml)
2 tbsp Cashews
1 pinch Red or Orange food color (optional) 
1/2 tsp Cardamom powder

Cooking Method


Step 1) Wash the moong dal and add it to a cooker . Add enough water ( I have added 1.5 cup water ). Cover the cooker and cook for 4 whistles  or until the dhal is nice and mushy.


Step 2) Mash it well or transfer the cooked dhal to a mixer and grind it smooth. Make sure to slightly cool the dhal  before grinding.


Step 3) Melt 4 tbsp of ghee in a pan and roast the cashews, once they turn golden take it out of the pan and keep it aside. Now in the same pan add the wheat flour and roast for a minute until the raw smell is gone. ( Wheat flour is added to get texture) .


Step 4) Then add the mashed dhal and cook for few minutes. Once it starts to thicken add sugar and mix well. The mixture loosens as soon as we add sugar. Keep it on a medium heat and cook until everything thickens.
Cook on a medium heat


Step 5) Gradually add in the rest of the ghee, 1 tbsp at a time and keep on cooking. The mixture thickens soon and rotates together without sticking to the pan. Finally add food color (mix with water and then add ) and mix well until the color is distributed evenly.


Step 6) Now add cardamom powder to get nice flavor, roasted cashews and also add 1 tbsp ghee  and mix well. Cook for few more minutes and turn off the heat.



That's is our delicious Asoka halwa is ready to be enjoyed. You can add some nuts on the top to make it attractive.Please do try the recipe and enjoy with your friends and family

  15. It was really amazing, I really loved it, Are you new on Twitch? If yes then this blog is for you, The best approach to block adverts on Twitch is by far, to install an ad blocker. Adblockers can be installed as extensions on the majority of browsers. Additionally, you can use a Twitch adblocker extension to enjoy an ad-free Twitch Platform experience.
