1 cup pesara/moong dal
3 cups rice (if possible long grain/Costco/Sams club)
8 cups of water
6 cups sugar or 7 cups of brown sugar
1 cup coconut powder
Cashews, raisins ( other nuts is optional)
Pinch of Elachi (optional)
Pachacha karpuram (optional)
2 and 1/2 sticks butter
Mix rice and Moong Dal and cook it in Rice cooker or Pressure cooker
In a pan, melt half stick of butter; fry cashews and then raisins. When they are done, add coconut powder and mix with a laddle till it turns brown. Switch off the stove and keep it aside.
Once the rice is cooked, in a tava, put the rest of the butter, then the rice and then the sugar on top of each other... butter and sugar will start melting. Mix them once in a while so that it won't burn. when it is almost getting thick put the coconut-cashew mixture and mix into it, leave it for a couple of minutes and turn off the stove... it should be semi solid when you turn off... as it becomes solid later.
