Name a dal that is as versatile as Moong Dal. From cheela, to vadas to khichdi, Moong Dal is omnipresent across a traditional Indian spread. While Moong is indeed very impressive when it comes to a gamut of savoury preparations for lunch or dinner, however even when it comes to making desserts you can rely on this yellow lentil and how. If North India weddings are incomplete without Moong Dal Ka Halwa, a south Indian sit-down dinner feels just as incomplete with a bowl of Moong Dal Payasam. Here are five of our all-time favourite Moong Dal desserts.
Moong Dal Halwa
A winter favourite, Moong Dal puree cooked with copious amounts of ghee, sugar, cardamom and nuts until thick and aromatic. The velvety combination of moong dal and ghee is sheer magic you do not want to miss.
