Hi Menu today,
I tried moongdal halwa today. It didnt glow when it's fully cooked. I added khoya to give richer taste. I added 5 tbs of ghee. Howmany tbs of ghee u added? I think u added more ghee to give glow. Is that so? Pls explain soon
Hi Rajee,
I added only the above propotion of ghee to the 1 cup moong flour.
While taking pic, I applied ghee in the mould. I think that gave glossy look to the Halwa.
One small tip: Before serving slightly reheat in microwave oven.
Thanks alot MT. I'll try ur small tip soon.
Can I post only ur recipe in my blog as it'll help me to review it easier in the future?
I'll add my picture along with ur recipe and url in my blog so that u can easily correct it if u've free time.
Happy Diwali from rajee in www.exotickitchen.blogspot.com
MT, I tried ur Halwa and it came wonderful. I also tried ur Jangiri & Kai murukku. Every stuff came wonderful. You give proportions correctly and ur description is too apt that if i try it comes as what u have shown in ur photos except for kai murukku...thats b'coz of me learning the art of making kai murukku ;)
