Chana dal halwa || Bengal Gram Dessert Recipe || How to make chana dal halwa with step-by-step photos and video...

I updated my old post by adding a video of chana dal halwa to better understand the recipe.

Chana dal halwa is a very tasty, traditional, rich flavor with a mouth-watering taste, which is usually made at any special event like Shab-e-Rat in India and Pakistan, but I love to eat this. 

So I often make it at home without any special events. 
Chana dal has a richer flavor than other pulses, which lends itself well to the preparation of a mouth-watering halwa. Soaked and ground dal is sautéed till a rich aroma is achieved, and then prepared into a traditional halwa flavored with cardamom, clove, and cinnamon.

It is important to stir the dal mixture continuously while sautéing. aAlthoughthe chana dal halwa requires a bit of prior soaking and takes a bit of time to cook, it is a worthwhile effort, which is sure to be praised by your guests and family members as one of the perfect desserts for entertaining  

Chana dal halwa is prepared with desi ghee or Clearfield ghee, but I don’t like the taste of desi ghee, so I used regular ghee. If you like,ke then you can cook it with it. This halwa is prepared with a few ingredients, which are added sugar, dry fruits, and ghee, sprinkled with some kewra essence.e

Tips:
Soak chana dal in hot water. 

 

To enhance the flavor of this traditional dessert, boil the chana dal by mixing it with water and milk. Be careful not to add too much water and milk while boiling. 

 

Be cautious, as the liquid dal paste can burn your hands when roasting it with ghee. 

 

For added flavor, you can include raisins, cashew nuts, or even saffron.

You can even touch the dal paste slightly; if it seems nonsticky means that the halwa dal mixture should not stick to your fingertips when you touch. Non-sticky chana dal paste indicates that it has been almost roasted; add sugar.
