Soak Bengal gram dal for at least 6 hours, then drain it. Next, cook the lentils in a pressure cooker with water, turmeric, and ghee.

Avoid overcooking the lentils; they should be soft enough to mash with a thumb. Once cooled, blend the lentils with jaggery in a mixer grinder until smooth.

Cook the filling on medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Check the mixture as it cooks, letting the moisture evaporate until it resembles halwa.
