My Notes:

  • Cooking the raw moong dal paste properly is the main key to get the flavour and texture perfect,so be patient and cook in low flame.
  • You can keep in fridge , it will keep well for 4-5 days, heat it up while serving.
  • I did not add any nuts , just garnished with pistachios and saffron.

    Sharmi wishing you a very Happy New Year 2017h. Such a different and nice recipe for the New year. I have tasted this in Rajdhani and wonder, how to make this. Thank you for the recipe. Lovely and tempting pictures. Your Wooden bowl, plate and ethnic spoons add more beauty & classy look. Very cute and attractive too. Where u got them?
