Mohan Dhal - A Gujarati Sweet

Satisfying if not mind-blowing!


I wanted to make some sweet for one of our close friend’s babyshower(Seemantham). On the day before the babyshower, at midnight 1am (didn’t find time at all to make it during t

he day time), I made this sweet. I asked my husband to taste it. He liked it and appreciated me.
I kept the remaining sweets in the refrigerator.

After two days, my husband asked me for the sweet. When I gave him the sweet, he immediately starred at me and said this was the worst sweet he had ever had in his life. Immediately, I tasted it and did not like it at all.I felt so bad and disturbed. I was pondering how could I ever make a sweet like this and give it for a baby shower…

After few days, I tried making the same recipe with few changes to the original recipe and vahrevah….it came out well. So, now you can make this revised recipe and let me know your experience!

Ingredients

Besan Flour – 3 Cups

Vennila Essence – Few Drops

Condensed Milk – 500gm

Sugar – 4 Tablespoons

Milk – 3 Tablespoons

Chopped Cashews – 1 Tablespoon

Chopped Almonds – 1 Tablespoons

Saffron – Few Strands (Optional)

Ghee – 2 Tablespoons

Preparation

1. Warm 1 tablespoon of ghee in a nonstick pan. Fry besan flour until you get good smell. Remove besan flour and transfer it to a mixing bowl.

2. Now, when the besan flour is warm enough, add milk and stir well. Then, add desired quantity of water in such a way that the besan milk mixture becomes a thick paste.

3. In the same nonstick pan, add 1 tablespoon of remaining ghee. Fry cashews and almonds till they become golden brown. Transfer them to a bowl.

4. Now, add the besan milk mixture to the pan and fry well. Slowly, add the condensed milk,  sugar, and vennila essence and again fry well until the raw smell of the besan mixture goes off and also until there are no lumps. Put saffron strands on top. Switch off the stove.

5. Apply ghee on the bottom of the desired plate. Using a spoon, put the Mohan Dhal sweet on the plate and press well. Put some fried cashews and almonds on the sweet and gently press them. Allow the sweet to cool and then cut the sweet into desired shapes.

Now, the Mohan Dhal sweet is ready!
