    Cuisine:

    This dessert is very easy to prepare and reminds me of my childhood. When we were kids and free of weight-related worries, we used to have this during most festivals. Ghee wasn't even optional.
    My two kids love this. Thank you Aunt Dimpi...

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Wash the Lentils and Cook Them Until Soft in About 2 Cups Water - I Usually Use a Pressure Cooker to Cook Lentils Because It's Fastest (if You Don't Have a Pressure Cooker, You Can Do It in a Covered Saucepan).

    2
    Done

    the Lentils Should Be Soft but Still Retain Their Shapes Faintly So That There Will Be a Slight Bite to It.

    3
    Done

    Drain Water from the Cooked Lentils If There's Any Excess.

    4
    Done

    Place the Lentils in a Heavy Bottomed Saucepan on Medium Heat and Add the Milk and Sugar, Mixing Well - Bring to a Boil.

    5
    Done

    Lower Heat and Simmer the Mixture Until Thick, Stirring Often (about 5-10 Min).

    6
    Done

    Once the Mixture Has Thickened, Turn Off the Heat and Stir in the Ghee.

    7
    Done

    Add the Cashews, Raisins and Cardamom Powder.if Desired, These Can Be Roasted in the Ghee Beforehand.

    8
    Done

    Mix Well and Serve Warm or Cold.
