First dry roast the mochakottai in medium flame until a nice aroma arises. It took me about 5 mins.
Transfer the mochakottai to a pressure cooker along with required amount of water and one large pinch of salt. Pressure cook until the mochakottai is nicely cooked through. It took me about 6 whistles. Let the pressure subside and remove the mochakottai and keep aside.
Wash both the rices and add it to the same pressure cooker along with 4 Cups of water and ½ tsp salt. Cook until the rice is slightly overcooked. It took me about 4 whistles. Turn off the flame and let the pressure subside.
Open the lid of the pressure cooker, turn on the flame to medium and add the coconut milk. Give a nice stir until it is combined and the rice is slightly mashed out. Now add the mochakottai and keep stirring for about 2 mins. Turn off the flame, add the grated coconut and mix well.
Enjoy hot with a spicy gravy / curry.

- I made it in a slightly thick consistency, since I like it that way. You can thin it out into porridge consistency by adding hot water.- Adjust cooking time for rice and mochakottai based on your stove settings.- Optionally, you can also add ½ cup of moong dal along with mochakottai.Adapted from Kothiyavunu
