    I used to grind moong dal, for my blessed mother , on a stone slab which is not is not available. What else I can use to grind moong dal with ?

    Hi I do not have a kitchen scale to measure all the ingredients that are given in gms. Can you please tell me the equivalent amount in Cups or ml ? One more question, How long should I boil the sugar syrup or I should just add dal mixture right after the sugar is dissolved??? Please specify because I am new to mithai making !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    the texture of moong dal halva will be right when the dal is not ground to a very fine paste but granular
