Sweet Moong dal khichdi - A Konkani delicacy

Sweet Moong Dal Khichdi is a Konkani delicacy that is normally made during festivals.
Its easy to make.... 
The khichdi could be served in bowls or spread on a plate and then cut into cubes.
Best served with ghee...
My Mom is an expert at making this, and recently I learnt from her.

Rice ( any white rice) - 1 cup
Jaggery - 2 cups
Water - 4 cups

Ghee/Clarified butter - 1/4 cup

Method:
Take a heavy bottomed pan, keep on medium heat and fry the moong dal till it gives a nice aroma.
Now switch off the heat and allow to cool.
Take another vessel, wash the fried moong dal and the rice and drain.
