Furthermore, I would like to give some of my suggestions for making sago moong dal kheer. Firstly, soak and then cook the moong dal in a cooker. If you don’t have the cooker, then place the soaked moong dal in a heavy bottomed pan with enough water and start to cook until fully cooked. Ensure that it should not gets burnt in the bottom of the pan.

Secondly,  if you are unsure of jaggery purity,  then add 1/4 cup of water and bring it to boil, strain once it dissolves in water and adds that jaggery syrup to the kheer. Then you can also replace the milk with coconut milk. (1 cup of thin coconut milk and 1 cup of thick coconut milk). Finally, you can also cook sago as per instructions are given in the pack.
