Moong Dal Halwa

Moong Dal Halwa (Sweet Yellow Lentil Pudding) is a delicious, rich and creamy pudding recipe that has an unusual main ingredient, normally associated with savory dishes - lentils. You'd never believe it when you eat it though! This dish originates from a city called Rajasthan where this is traditionally prepared during festivals like Holi, Diwali etc., but also during happy ceremonies like Birthdays and Weddings.

Note: The cooking time mentioned in the video recipe depends on the size of the crock-pot and the wattage. Bigger crock-pots cook faster. Please use discretion.

Rice Halwa

This is a traditional South-Indian recipe that's a favorite for most of them. Simple ingredients and easy process make this sweet dish a wonderful recipe. Normally, this dish is prepared using 'Sooji' (Semolina) but I have substituted it with 'Basmati Rice' to give the dish a bold texture. If you do not like a thicker consistency, you can convert this dish into rice-pudding by simply adding double the quantity of milk, a little bit of Kesar (Saffron) and garnish with Pistachios and other nuts of your choice. Enjoy!
