Dal ka seera Recipe
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 tbsp. 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.
