Urad Dal Sweet Dish

This sweet is definitely one of my favorites. I used to pester my amma (mother) to prepare this one whenever I felt like eating something sweet. My dad & my brother are not great fans of sweets, so it was my mom and I who used to enjoy this delicacy till the last bit. Last week, I suddenly thought about this dish & the “sweet” coincidence is that I had soaked urad dal for idli. No brainer! scooped out a small portion to prepare it right away. The recipe follows...
