• Sugar- 300gm
• Rice – 65 gms( 1/4th of moong dal)
• Cows ghee-1 tablespoon
• Salt –as per taste
• Oil- as required

Preparation
• Soak the moong dal and rice in water for 1 hour.
• Wash the dal and rice cleanly and grind it with little water.
• Boil water in a deep dish equivalent to moong dal paste, with sugar.
• When it’s boiled, add moong dal paste and salt as per taste. Stir it properly.
• Reduce the heat and stir it till it becomes thick.
• One way to check that the paste is done: check it with wet fingers and if it does not stick, then remove it from heat.
• Grease a wide plate with ghee and pour the pre boiled mix on it. Keep the plate unaltered for 15 minutes, so that the mixture is cool and ready to cut.
