Kool

• Roast mung beans for about 15 minutes on low flame or use roasted mung beans.
• Cut coconut pieces into small pieces with the brown exterior removed.
  
• Boil coconut milk, coconut pieces, and mung beans.
• Once the mixture begins to boil, lower the heat just a little and cook until the beans are cooked.
• After the beans are cooked, add the flatten dough balls a few at a time. Use a fork to mix the dough slowly to let them cook fully without getting squashed.
• Add jaggery and cook until it completely melts.
• Add the rice mixture and then reduce to low heat. This is to avoid the mixture becoming too thick.
• About 2 minutes later, add the thick coconut milk.
• Mix until there are light bubbles and then remove off the stove and enjoy!
