So on Sankranthi day and with a partially impaired ear (due to infection), I finally made it. I'm sooooo happy with how it turned out. Simran's mom's recipe was perfect and it tasted awesome. I poured the halwa onto a lightly greased plate and when cool enough to handle, cut into squares. My son loved them too.

Here's the recipe from Valli:
Ingredients:
Split Moong dal - 1/2 cup
Khowa - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1/4 cup
Cashews & Raisins - for garnish
Method:
- Lightly roast moong dal and soak in water overnight. In the morning, grind dal with little water to make a smooth paste.
- In a heavy bottom pan; melt ghee and add the paste. Cook until dal turns slightly brownish and ghee starts to separate.
- Next add khowa and sugar and cook until sugar is melted and everything is completely incorporated.
- Once the mixture starts to pull away from the sides, remove onto a lightly greased plate and smooth the top with a spoon.
- When cool enough to handle, cut into squares and enjoy...
