This is the first sweet dish that I made from my Sasuraal side. Coming from Rajasthan, I was in love with Moong ki daal ka Halwa and when I heard about Chane ki daal ka Halwa, I was super excited and loved the taste when I tried it. Once we moved to USA, I started trying to make it on home.
The first try was something I did by myself, without asking my Mother in law for the recipe, but for some reason it wasn’t as good as what we had eaten and neither me, nor Mr. Parveez was able to figure out what went wrong or what was missing. And, that’s when my Mother in law came to the rescue. I spoke to her over the phone, giving her details about how I tried making the “meetha” and that I didn’t understand what went wrong. She patiently explained the over all recipe and the “magic ingredient” that I missed was Cinnamon and cloves.
Little did I think that Cinnamon and clove make so much difference to this Halwa. I could never imagine adding these 2 ingredients will actually add so much flavor and fragrance to this sweet.
This sweet dish is one of the easiest sweets I have ever made and it has always impressed everyone. The best part that I like about this sweet dish that, it’s mistake proof. Having said that, I mean that there is no mistake that you make while cooking this, that cannot be fixed and that too easily. So, if you are new at making Indian sweet dishes, this is your go to dish. It’s great for beginners and also great if you have to make something in a jiffy.
