  • Add the yellow moong dal and rice together on a non-stick heating pan and dry roast them for about 4 minutes on medium flame.
  • Once done, wash the mixture well and strain it.
  • In a pressure cooker, add 3 cups of water and the strained mixture and cook for 6 whistles.

  • Pour 1/4 cup of water into a deep non-stick pan, and let heat.
  • Add the jaggery and 1 tablespoon of ghee into the pan and cook in medium flame for about 2 minutes. Keep stirring well until it mixes thoroughly.
