INGREDIENTS
urad dal roasted, cool and powder 1 cup
gur/ jaggery grated or powdered 1/2 cup or less as per taste
salt 1/8 tsp
walnuts, almonds chopped 1 tbsp
raisins 1 tbsp
cardamom pdr. 1/2 tsp
ghee 1 1/2 tbsp
water as needed
METHOD
heat ghee in a heavy pan- roast nuts and raisins, drain well and keep aside
in the same pan, roast urad dal powder well for 2 minutes on low flame, add grated or powdered gur, keep stirring well, till the gur melts, adding about 1/2 cup of water once the gur melts little, so everything together can cook well. Only thing, you've to keep stirring it all the time, so use a non-stick pan and on a low flame, as then even in between, you may attend to something else in another gas or chop some vege, as you can stir in between. Once the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan, add cardamom powder and the roasted nuts and raisins, reserving few for garnishing. Serve hot.
Health tips
This is a very healthy halwa, as urad dal is considered very good for bones, especially good for girls and women to make the bones strong, all the more for pregnant and lactating women. Adding gur instead of sugar is again healthy, as gur has iron. Then walnuts give you omega- 3 fatty acids, almonds are a good source of protein and fats, raisins give you fibre and iron, or you may even add some dates, then you can reduce the quantity of gur, then dates should be added along with gur and water, finely chop them after you soak them, or you may even soak and grind dates and add. When we use ghee, it has Vitamin D along with fat, which our body needs to absorb fat soluble vitamins.
