Add the drained moong dal in the same pan and dry roast it until it changed to a golden brown. It may take five minutes. Remove the roasted moong dal from the pan and transfer it to a plate.
- Take the roasted ragi to a dry mixer jar and blend it to a smooth powder.
- Once almonds and moong dal are cooled down, grind it together in the blender to a smooth powder.
