About Moong dal halwa
Moong Dal Halwa is a rich and indulgent dessert originating from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in North India during festive occasions and weddings. Made from skinned split green gram (moong dal), this halwa is slowly cooked with ghee, sugar, and water or milk, and flavored with cardamom. The addition of nuts like almonds, cashews, and pistachios enhances both its taste and nutrition. Moong dal, the main ingredient, is a good source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and potassium, making it beneficial in moderation. However, the halwa is traditionally high in sugar and ghee, which contribute to its rich flavor but also increase its calorie and fat content. While it provides warmth and energy, particularly in colder months, this decadent dish is best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a daily indulgence.
