In a pan roast moong dal and kadalai paruppu separately until you get a nice aroma of roasted dal. Then add water to the dal. Wash and drain that water.

Pressure cook dal with enough water, rice flour mixture in a cup and jaggery with little salt for 5 to 7 whistles.
Once the pressure subsides, open the cooker and mash the dal nicely.
