Heat a pressure cooker. Dry roast the split moong dal for a couple of minutes.

Switch off and allow the pressure to go off completely.
Open the lid and give a nice mix. You would have all the dal mashed up into the coconut milk.
Add in the melted jaggery and keep the mixture on simmer.
Cook till it thickens.
Now add the thick coconut milk, warm and switch off. Do not allow it to boil.
Heat ghee in a deep saucepan. Fry the coconut bites till almost done.
