• When oil separates out and mixture becomes so thick ( halwa patham ) add the ghee fried cashew and switch off the stove, serve the Yummy Moong Dal Halwa while it is hot with little ghee on top(optional )

Note:
Sometimes by mistake if the water content becomes high it will take long time to come halwa patham(consistency), At that time add maida or wheat flour to it
This will hardened the mixture and it will comes to halwa patham (consistency)
