Wash 1 cup of moong dal and add it to a pan with a tiny bit of ghee.
Cook the moong dal on low heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.
Add hot boiling water to the pan, covering the dal, and let it cook until tender.
Once the dal is cooked, add 1 cup of washed sago to the pan and mix well.
Continue cooking until the sago becomes translucent, adding more water if necessary.
Once the sago is almost done, add room temperature liquid milk to the pan and stir.
After about 10 minutes, add almonds and raisins to the mixture.
Add coconut milk to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes.
