Whole Moong Halwa / Green Gram Dal Halwa / Moongdal Halwa

            My another attempt to make Halwa with Whole Moong or Green gram dal using very less or i can say only 1 and 1/2 tbsp ghee. I also added milk mawa to this halwa to make it richer and tastier. I usually don't make halwa as it requires more ghee and also a laborious one. But for my kids , i want to try a healthier version of halwa with whole moong using milk and mawa. I tried with only 1/2 cup dal only. As moong dal and milk are a good source of protein and the ghee act as a fat source both are essential for growing kids, that too in a sweet form . Simply they loved it.

I use to make it in simple way for my kids..they love anything sweet with bread :) This time for a change added some quaker oats(vanilla flavored).I didn't add vanilla extract to my pudding as the oats itself was fully loaded with vanilla flavor.If you are using plain oats add vanilla extract.Its quick to prepare but the cooking time is little long..takes about 45 minutes.
