1/2 c. moong dhal 4 c. water
1 Tbsp. ghee 1 c. rice
1 c. grated coconut 1 c. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cashew nuts {broken into 1 stick unsalted butter
pieces) 10 tsp. cardamom (powder)
2 Tbsp. raisins
Dry fry moong dhal until they turn into brown color. In a tablespoon of ghee saute grated coconut until they turn into golden color. Remove the coconut and saute cashew nuts and raisins in the same pan until they become golden color. In a saucepan heat 4 cups of water. When the water boils, add the fried moong dhal and rice. When they cook well, (they would become soft) add brown sugar. Keep stirring. Then add grated coconut, cashew nuts, raisins and butter. Mix well. By this time most of the water would have been evaporated. Add powdered cardamom to the rice and remove from heat. Used as a dessert. Tastes like rice pudding.
