Once of my close friend in my apartment came down to my home and taught me how to make this instant version of Moong Dal Halwa. She always tell me that even before sleeping, sometimes, her daughter ask for halwa and she prepare it immediately. I was initially so surprised to hear that because as far as i know, this halwa is a complicated recipe and once i tried the conventional method but it didn’t turn out satisfactorily and so I didn’t publish at that time. But with this instant recipe, there is no hassle or tiring and the taste is exactly same as the conventional method.
Most of us are working women who don’t find time to make sweets using conventional method. Because of their complexity many of us have stopped making traditional sweets and started telling that we are in diet :-).
