Place a saucepan in the stove and turn the stove on.
Tip in a tablespoon of ghee and when it starts melting just toss over the cashew nuts and lower the flame.
When it turns slightly golden brown, sprinkle the raisins and when it pops up just take out the saucepan from the stove and transfer these roasted ingredients to a small plate and keep aside.
Place the saucepan in the stove again and squirt in another teaspoon of ghee.
Just after a few seconds, add a cup of chana dal to it and roast until fragrant.
Now splash the required amount of water sufficient enough to soak the chana dal.
Stir well and pop the lid on and let it get cooked in low medium flame for about ten to fifteen minutes approximately.
After some time, just open the lid and fish oot one or two dal from the pan and crush it to see whether it is cooked well.
If it feels soft, then add a cup of coconut milk (second extract which is comparatively thin) and stir in.
Let the chana dal boil in coconut milk for a while and after a few minutes add a cup of jaggery (diluted & filtered) to the sauce pan with a nice stir.
It will turn aromatic in five minutes and at this stage simmer the flame and add another cup of coconut milk to it. (first extract)
When it comes to a boil and turns aromatic, tip in a teaspoon of cardamom powder.
At last, garnish the Parippu Pradaman with the roasted dry fruits and grated coconut with a nice stir.
Turn off the stove and now the parippu pradaman is ready.
Transfer it to a serving bowl and serve warm and celebrate the day.
