Dal Halva is a traditional sweet delicacy originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in India and Pakistan. It is made by simmering rich lentils, such as moong dal or chana dal, with ghee, sugar, and aromatic ingredients like cardamom or saffron. This dessert is celebrated for its soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and lightly nutty flavor, often garnished with nuts and raisins for added richness. Lentils in Dal Halva provide a source of protein and fiber, but its nutritional profile leans heavily on the indulgent use of ghee and sugar, making it energy-dense and high in calories. While it offers some essential vitamins and minerals from lentils, moderation is key due to the high fat and sugar content. Dal Halva is cherished for festive occasions and can be enjoyed as a rare treat within a balanced diet.
