Chonyadhali Dudhali -Channa Dal Halwa





Let us begin the blog with a sweet dish recipe-a simple but very tasty halwa (Dudhali) made with channa dal. This dish  evokes many nostalgic memories for me. I still remember how me and my cousin sisters Sm and Sr used to eagerly wait till amma finished making it to devour  a spoonful of it even before she layered it on a tray.Here is the recipe .Hope you"l love it.


Ingredients:-
Channa dal - 500gms
Sugar - 400gms
Ghee - 100gms
Cardamom - 10nos


Method:-
Wash the channa dal thoroughly and pressure cook till it becomes soft.Strain the water and smash the dal till it becomes like a paste.In a thick bottomed vessel add 50 gms of ghee, sugar and smashed dal and keep stirring on a low flame .As soon as  the sugar melts, slowly add the remaining ghee and keep stirring on a medium flame.When the mixture starts to separate from the edge of the vessel switch off the flame.Layer the mixture on a tray greased with ghee.Garnish with cardamom powder.When the halwa begins to cool cut into square pieces.The halwa is ready . 

Note : You may powder the sugar and add to reduce the cooking time :-)
