ABOUT Kummayam / Sweet Moong dal RECIPE

This recipe is a traditional tamil nadu sweet prepared on Aadi festival. It is very healthy recipe made with moong dal, rice and urad dal. I can probably say it is moong dal halwa made with jaggery and ghee. It is very simple, healthy and tasty.

Instructions

Dry Roast 1/2 cup Moong dal till the colour changes to light red
Dry Roast 1 tbsp of Raw rice till the colour changes to light red
Dry Roast 1 TSP Urad dal till the colour changes to light red
Allow the mixture to cool
Put it in blender along with Cardamon to make a fine powder
Measure the powder and add equal quantity of jaggery. For me it is 1/2 cup of powder so I took 1/2 cup of pure powdered jaggery. If the jaggery is not pure, prepare jaggery syrup. Add 1 cup water to powder. Mix it without lumps. Then add jaggery syrup and mix well
Add 1.5 cups of water to prepare a thin batter.
Add ghee. Saute cashews.
Add the thin batter and start stirring continuously
It solidifies. Stir continuously
Stir for 10 mins on low flame till the colour of the mixture changes
Serve chilled.
