Kesar colour: little (small pinch)
Kaju         :  50gms

Preparation Time: 20 min

First of all wash and soak moong dal or the green gram in water for about 4 to five hours. Grind it and make a fine paste after 5 hours.

Now put little ghee in a pan, fry some cashews and keep them aside. Now add the remaining ghee and fry this moong paste on a medium flame by stirring continuously for about 10 minutes. It becomes hard like this.

Now add the khoya by crumbling it (making into as small pieces as possible), also add sugar and food colour and keep stirring continuously.

The sugar and khoya gets mixed completely with the moong and looks as above. Add the Elaichi powder now and keep a plate greased with ghee ready. **Touch this paste and see- if it is sticking to your hand, its not yet done, if not its done. **

Pour this mixture into the greased plate.

Keep spreading it all over the plate using the spatula or apply some ghee and do it with your hand itself. (do remember that its hot)

When this mixture is still wet, arrange the Kaju on it by pressing a little. You can add raisins too.

After some 40 to 50 minutes, when its dry, you can cut it into squares or diamond shapes as desired without disturbing the dry fruits. Now moong Barfi is ready. If u take this paste in a bowl and eat it hot, u can serve it as moong halwa too. The more you chew the more tasty it will be.
