Instructions for how to make Moong Dal Barfi without soaking:

  1. Firstly, clean 1 cup moong dal with a cloth properly and then dry roast it for 8-10 mins on low flame.
  2. Then grind the roasted dal with the help of grinder and make it like a powder/ Aata.
  3. Take 1/2 cup out of 3 cups of milk and then warm it and add few strings of Saffron/ Kesar.
  4. Now, Preheat 1/2 cup ghee in a pan and add ground dal into it.
  5. Stir dal constantly and cook on low-medium flame. Color of dal flour will change on roasting.
