Notes:
1.Adjust ghee level while roasting wheat flour to avoid lump formation.
2. Use red food color which will give rich look for ashoka halwa.
3.Dont add too much of water while grinding moong dal. Even no need to add water. Because it take time while making halwa.Also after adding sugar it becomes runny.
4.Usually I don’t add nuts on it.Bcoz I love the authentic flavor as it is.
