Method:

1. In a medium sauce pan, add 1 tablespoon of ghee to it. Roast the cashew nuts to it on medium flame till it turns light brown in color.
2. In the same pan, roast the moong dhal till it turns red color or light brown in color on medium flame for about 15 to 20 mins. Make sure never allow it to burn. Patience is needed. Allow it cool once the color changed to red in color.
