Strain the soaked rice and chana dal, discarding the water.

In a pressure cooker, add the soaked rice and chana dal with 3 and 1/2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

Cover the pressure cooker and cook on medium heat for two whistles. Let it cool down before opening.

In a mixer grinder, add 1 and 1/2 cups of freshly grated coconut and 3/4 cup of water to extract thick coconut milk.

Strain the mixture to get thick coconut milk, then repeat with the remaining coconut to get thin coconut milk.

In a thick bottom pan, add the thin coconut milk and both types of jaggery. Cook until the jaggery melts completely.

Add the thick coconut milk and the cooked rice and chana dal mixture. Stir well and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of green cardamom powder and mix. Cook until the mixture thickens and passes the line test.

Add 1 teaspoon of ghee and mix well. Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a greased plate or container to set.

Cool completely and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours or overnight before serving.
