| DAL
KA SEERA |
Ingredients:
500 gm Moong dal (green) 500 gm sugar 500 gm ghee saffron soaked in
a little milk elaichi powder water about
250 ml |
METHOD:
Soak the dal for 5-6 hours. Wash and remove the skins well. Grind
dal fine either in a stone grinder or electric grinder or mixie. Use
as little water as possible. Put sugar and water in a pan and put
to boil. Once sugar dissolve add a few tblsp. of milk. As the syrup
boils the scum will rise. Remove with a strain. Further boil till
the syrup become sticky between the fingers. (One thread should fall
when poured from a tilted spoon) keep aside. Heat the ghee in a heavy
kadai (vessel) and add dal. Keep stirring rigorously to avoid burning.
Once the dal stops sticking to the vessel, stir gradually till golden
brown, and ghee begins to separate. Pour the hot syrup, add elaichi
and dissolved saffron. Stir very carefully, not allowing hand to be
scalded. Cook slowly till all water is absorbed. Decorate with chopped
dry fruit. Serve hot especially on a cold day. |
