- In a bowl/ cooker add rice and moong dal together. Wash and soak in water for 20 to 30 minutes. This will help the rice and dal cook fast and mushy. Pressure cook it for 4 whistles. (I used 2 cups of water to soak and cook for my rice and dal).When the pressure has subsided open the lid and mash the rice dal mixture and keep it aside.
- Now to the mashed mixture add milk, mix it well then add condensed milk. Mix well.
- Now in a small pan add ghee, cashews and dry grapes. Fry until golden brown and put off the flame and keep it aside.
