Urad Dal Halwa /Aadikool

Aadikool or Urad dal halwa is a famous chettinadu sweet dish usually had after morning breakfast. Its a 10 minutes dessert if you have all the ingredients. Really!! :).

Urad Dal Halwa

Ingredients

Urad dal flour - 1 cup
Broken Jaggery - 1/2 cup
Water - 1 cup
Oil - 1/2 cup

Note: To make the urad dal flour, you need to dry roast the urad dal till brown , cool it and grind it in a mixer jar to a smooth powder.


Method

Firstly boil a cup of water in a pan, and add in the jaggery pieces. Let the water boil in low flame, till all of the jaggery dissolves. Then switch off flame and keep aside the jaggery syrup.

Heat a pan with 1/2 cup oil. Add in the urad dal powder, mix well with the oil. There must be enough oil for all the flour to soak in. If its less, you will end up with a lot of lumps in the halwa which we don't want.After a minute, add in the jaggery syrup, and mix well with the flour. Switch off flame when you get a consistency which is not as thick as a halwa and not too loose either, it needs to be mid way as it tends to thicken later.

And thats it you are done. :)
