  • Once it comes to room temperature grind it coarsely (fine rava consistency)
  • Put 4 tblsp ghee in the pan and add powdered moong dal 
  • Roast it on a medium flame untill golden brown and you get  nice aroma  . It takes about 5 to 10 mims
  • Simmer the gas flame and slowly add the milk to the roasted dal , and mix continuously
  • Add one cup water and stir until it becomes dense
