Step 1 :
In a pressure cooker, heat 1 tsp of ghee and roast ½ cup of moong dal.
Step 2 :
Add 2 cups of water and mix well.
Step 3 :
Cover and pressure cook for 3 whistles or until the dal is well cooked.
Step 4 :
Allow the dal to cool completely, then blend it into a smooth paste and set aside.
Step 5 :
In a large kadai, heat ¼ cup of ghee and roast 2 tbsp of wheat flour until it turns aromatic and lump-free.
Step 6 :
Add the prepared moong dal paste. Stir and cook, ensuring the dal paste is well combined.
Step 7 :
Cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Step 8 :
Add ¾ cup of sugar and mix well.
Step 9 :
Keeping the flame on medium, dissolve the sugar and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until the mixture turns glossy.
Step 10 :
Soak a pinch of saffron threads in warm milk, add food colour (optional), and mix well. Add this to the halwa.
Step 11 :
Keep cooking on a low flame until the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan (this takes approximately 25 minutes).
Step 12 :
In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp of ghee and roast 2 tbsp of cashews and 2 tbsp of raisins until the nuts turn golden brown.
Step 13 :
