Everyone eats carrot halwa, but if you eat this black gold urad dal in winter, you will not need a doctor. – ..
News India Live, Digital Desk: It is not possible that it is winter season and halwa is not made at home. Usually, as soon as winter sets in, we all move straight towards carrot halwa. But friends, do you know that our elders and grandmothers eat more than carrots in winter? “Urad Dal Halwa” But why did you insist?
Today we are going to tell you about a desi recipe which is not just a sweet but also a “tonic” for winters. Especially for those new mothers whose little guest has just arrived at home (After Delivery), this halwa is no less than a boon.
Why only urad dal halwa? Benefits
See, urad dal is hot in nature. It is filled with protein and iron.
- Iron for bones: People often suffer from joint pain or back pain in cold weather. This pudding works to ‘grease’ the bones.
- Recovery after delivery: After delivery, women’s body becomes very weak. This halwa helps in giving them back strength, increasing milk production and getting rid of back pain. It is often made with gum and lots of dry fruits.
Method of making (Step-by-Step in desi style)
Making this is not rocket science, it just requires a little hard work and a lot of love.
- Preparation of dal: First of all, soak the washed urad dal overnight or for at least 4-5 hours. When it swells, grind it a little coarsely in a mixer. Do not make a paste completely, otherwise it will not taste good.
- Roasting is the real secret: Take a good amount of desi ghee in the pan. Don’t be stingy at all, because the real taste will come only from ghee. Now add lentil paste to it.
- Tip: This is the stage where you have to be patient. Fry the dal on low flame until its color becomes golden brown and the whole house smells of ghee.
- Milk and Sweeteners: When the lentils are roasted and start releasing ghee, slowly add milk to it. Keep stirring it so that lumps do not form.
- Flavor: Now add sugar or jaggery in it (jaggery is better in winters). Also add cardamom powder.
- A dash of strength: Separately, take some ghee, puff the ‘gond’ in it and chop a lot of cashews, almonds and pistachios. Mix it in halwa.
Your hot immunity booster is ready! Eat it in the morning for breakfast or before sleeping at night with hot milk. This will not only please the tongue but will also steel the body. Will there be a new dish this Sunday?
