Moong Daal Halwa for Diwali

diwali '09moong daal halwa

I'll keep this short, because I have pretty much lost my arm stirring this dish! I am so glad to be back with a bang for Diwali! Moong Daal Halwa (or Seera as we call it in Gujarati) is one of the richest and most laborious desserts you'll make. Of course I did not realize how hard it was until I had started! I asked my mother for the recipe, and she kept asking me in reply if I was sure I wanted to do this on a weeknight, after I return from work.
