Roast raw rice and moong dal for few mins. Take in a bowl and wash well. Drain it completely. Take it in a blender and powder coarsely
Take jaggery in a kadai, add in water and mix well. If your jaggery has dirt, strain the mix. I didn't strain since my jaggery is clean. Bring it to a boil.
Add in coconut and cardamom powder.
Add in powdered rice and dal mix in and mix well.
It will get thick and leaves the side and come together as a mass. Add ghee to this and mix well.
