"Mixed Pulse Squares"

Ingredients:

1/2 cup split bengal gram ( chana dal)

1/2 cup split yellow gram ( yellow moong dal)

1/2 cup dried whole milk ( mawa/khoya)

1+1/4 cup sugar

5 tbsp ghee ( clarified butter)

1 tbsp cardamom powder

chopped mixed dry fruits for garnish

1/4 cup water

Preparation:

• Soak both the pulses for atleast 4 hours
• Drain the water and coarsely grind the pulses ( you have an option of making it in a fine paste)
• Heat the ghee in a non stick deep pan and add the pulse mixture to it
• Fry the pulses on a low flame till all the water evaporates and u get a grainy flour texture. Switch off the gas.
• Make the sugar syrup with three threads consistency ( In a pan heat water and sugar together, keep stirring till the back of the spoon gives you that consistency)
• Add it to the pulse mix, stir well, add cardamom powder and mawa ( dried whole milk).
• Mix properly for a smooth consistency
• Remove the mixture on a pre-greased plate/tray and leave to set.
• Garnish it with dry fruits 
• Once cooled and set ( firm), cut into square or diamond pieces and serve

Note: Its important to use a non stick pan for cooking the pulses to retain the original flavours, avoid sticking and burning of the mixture.
