Preparation
- Drain and grind the moong dal coarsely using very little water.
- Soak the saffron in half cup hot milk.
- Heat the ghee in a thick-bottomed non-stick pan; add the ground moong dal and sauté, stirring continuously, over low heat till the dal turns golden brown. This needs time and patience. Do not rush through this step.

- Add Sugar Free Natura and mix till it blends well with the mixture.
