    1 Spoon Cumin Seeds
    1 Inch Ginger piece
    Curry Leaves
    A pinch of Asafetida
    Salt
    Ghee to prepare pongal (aprox. 1/4 cup)
    Turmeric powder (optional)
    10 - 12 Cashew nuts

    290820141140.jpg


    • Wash rice and dal. Pure 2 1/2 or 3 cups of water and keep in a pressure cooker. Add chopped ginger, turmeric powder, whole black pepper, cumin seeds and asafetida ​
    • Pour ghee in a pan and add cashew nuts and curry leaves and fry ​
    • Add to the rice mixture and mix well. ​
    • Now the tasty ven pongal is ready. ​

    Sarkarai Pongal or Sweet Pongal

    IMG-20150111-WA0003.jpg

    1 Cup rice
    2 Cup Jaggery
    2 - 4 Cardamom
    10 - 12 Cashew nuts
    1/2 Coconut
    1/2 Cup ghee
    1 Cup Milk
    1 Small tin evaporated milk (optional)
    • Keep washed rice in a pressure cooker. Add 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 cup milk and cook ​
    • Pour some water and put jaggery in that and let it dissolve in the water. ​
    • Filter the jaggery water and allow it to boil for 2 minutes. Now add mashed cooked rice and mix well ​
    • Add some ghee in that. Mix well. Let it cook in jaggery water for a while. ​
    • Make coconut in to small pieces. ​
    • Pour some ghee in a pan and fry cashew nuts and coconut pieces. ​
    • Add them in the sweet pongal. Mix well. When it becomes thick remove from the fire. ​
    • If you want to add evaporated milk add it while you add the cooked rice. This will be more tasty. ​
    • Serve hot or cold as per your wish. ​
    Note: Generally people cook the rice in water only but if you add milk while cooking the rice the sweet pongal will be more tasty. If you want to add 'milkmaid', that is sweetned milk then reduce the jaggery's quantity.
