A few strands of saffron steeped in warm milk can be added to Chana Dal Halwa to give it a golden tint and a deep, fragrant flavor.
Add melted dark chocolate to the chana dal halwa to create a rich, fusion dessert that combines the richness of chocolate with the nuttiness of chana dal.
For a fragrant, flowery halwa that adds a cool, somewhat tangy touch, add a tablespoon of gulkand.
Grated coconut gives this dish a tropical flavor and improves its texture, which goes well with the dal.
To give the halwa a crisp, healthy touch, mix in chopped dried fruits such as figs, apricots, and various nuts.
