This is really a very delicious halwa. I didnt expect that this halwa would turn out this much good. When i made this halwa and gave to my family members, they were asking whether this is almond halwa…. ha ha ha.. nobody believed it, it is made of the channa dal/kadalai paruppu. After i showed the step wise pictures only even my hubby believed… I am very happy and proud to join the group SNC started by Divya of You too can cook Indian Food and realise now, that I should have joined it before itself. Missed many delicious recipes… wahhh. Though I prepared this halwa in the first week of March itself, but now only, found time to post it. Now I am really waiting for the next exciting challenge.

• Wash and Soak channa dal for 2 hrs.
• Filter the water and drain completely.

• Grind the channa dal with cardamom powder in a food processor or mixer grinder and make a powder. ( little coarse should be ok).

• In a non stick wok, add the 4 tsp ghee first and add the powdered channa dal and star stirring.

• To this add the sugar and grated khoya.

• Keep on stirring, until it thickens.
• Add the saffron strands.

• Add the fried, cashews and raisins, and almonds.

• Grease a plate with ghee, and transfer the content and allow to cool.

• Delicious halwa is ready.
