Mohanthal is yet another sweet which is a must make during Diwali. My Sindhi friend Meenu makes excellent Mohanthal and frankly I always get a box from her every now and then. I have never really thought of making it myself.
Mohanthal is a fudge made from chick pea flour and there are different versions of this. The first time I made Mohanthal it was a Gujrati version, which had unsweetened khoya but The Sindhi version is different and is without khoya.. The method too is different. Both the versions are equally delicious.

Is is sweet like fudge or just a similar consistency? I'm not very familiar with cardamon, which is perhaps why I can't guess what this tastes like. I do like chickpeas though.
That is a yummy looking Sindhi Mohanthal. Looks perfectly made.
We get only one variety of besan in south, unless things have changed now. The first time I noticed the coarser and fine varieties years ago, I could not understood what they were used for.
They look super, Vaishali. Is this version Mohantal on a softer side?
Love the mohanthal Vaishali, looks delicious. Bookmarked the recipe.
Vaishali, being a Gujarati myself, Mohanthal is a household favorite. You made me drool all over it early morning 🙂 Awesome recipe!!
That is a sinful dessert. Loving it.
what a stunner ! along with Sukhdi, I like this second best :)) well made ….
Mohanthal has come out so perfectly. I have never made these myself, but looking forward to making some soon.
I love the consistency – what a flavorful treat
we always make this version, we dont add khoya too..i liked the deep color it has
I was just watching the picture and drooling, wish I get a piece now looks so tempting…
