Instructions

1. 1

   Measure everything before lighting the flame; there is no pause button mid-cook.

2. 2

   Start the base: the yellow moong dal and coconut milk together in a thick pan, stirring so nothing catches.

3. 3

   Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

4. 4

   Stir in the jaggery with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.

5. 5

   Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.
