Trivia Tadka

The Rajasthani cuisine is well-known for its sweet dishes. Dal Ka Seera is popular as a festive recipe and is a staple at Rajasthani weddings. It is a very appetising dish and tastes especially great during the winter months. A dessert made using coarsely-ground split yellow moong dal, ghee, sugar and dry fruits, it is believed to have originated in the kitchens of the Maharaja of Udaipur. 

Ingredients

  • Green gram (moong dal) (1 cup)
  • Sugar (½ cup)
  • Ghee (½ cup)
  • Green cardamom (hari elaichi) powder (1 tsp)
  • Saffron (kesar) (soaked in a little milk)
  • Milk (4 tbsp)
  • Dry fruits (for garnishing)
  • Water (as required)

Method

  • Soak the dal in water for about 5 to 6 hours. Wash it well and then remove the skin.
  • Grind it to make a fine paste. Use only a little water.
  • In a pan, add the sugar along with some water. Once it has come to a boil, or once the sugar has dissolved, add in the milk.
  • Keep heating the syrup for some more time, till it has attained a sticky consistency.
  • In a kadhai, heat the ghee. Then, toss in the dal and keep stirring continuously so that it does not get burnt. 
  • Keep cooking till the dal has turned golden brown in colour and the ghee has begun to separate from it.
  • Next, add in the sugar syrup, elaichi powder and the dissolved kesar.
  • Keep stirring intermittently till all the water has been absorbed. Then, turn off the flame.
  • Garnish with dry fruits of your choice.
  • Dal Ka Seera is now ready to serve.
