  moong dhal halwa
  
  Moong dal - 200g, jaggery - 150g, cardomoms - 4-6(powdered), ghee - 1 cup, cashewnuts(whole) - 10.
  Roast moong dal in a dry pan lightly and steam in a pressure cooker, adding 2 times water. Allow it to overcook. Remove and mash well. Powder the jaggery, add 1/4 cup water and keep in low heat. Stir until the syrup becomes thick. Add the mashed moong dal, cardomom powder, ghee and the cashewnuts and stir well until it becomes non-sticky.
  
  asoka halwa
  
  moong dal - 1 cup, wheat flour - 1 cup, sugar - 11/2 cup, kesari powder - a pinch, ghee - 1 cup, cardomoms - 6, cashewnuts - 10, essence as required, cashew bits and cherry bits - 2 tsp each
  Add 1/2 cup water to 1 cup moong dal and cook in pressure cooker until it becomes soft.To 1 cup wheat flour, add 1/2 cup waterand make into a thick liquid.Heat this liquid in a fry pan and stir for a while.Mash the cooked moong dal and add it to the boiling liquid.When everything is mixed and well cooked, add sugar and stir well.Add 1/2 cup of ghee and keep stirring.When it is almost over add cardomoms.Roast cashews in 1 tsp ghee and add it to the mix. Add the remaining ghee and stir.
  It should become a non sticky paste but not too hard.At this stage remove the pan from the stove.Pour this mix on a large plate greaseed with ghee.Spred the cashew and cheery bits on the top surface of the halwa. Then cut this into diamonds by drawing parallellines with a knife.

  p.s.: you can prepare w/w.o wheat flour in asoka or you can substitute with maida or besan flour in the place of wheat flour.
