For Tampering :
Ghee - Be generous Mustard, Cashew Nuts (generously used :D) Curry Leaves, Whole pepper corns, greenchilli-1 reduce thin models
In addition to the ingredients above you'll need dry grated coconut. no qty only use as needed. Coconut garnishing enhances flavor. I add chopped coriander also ) we like coriander garnishing
Fry individually Hesarubele/Split moongdal/dhuli moongdal grain inside a tablespoons of of ghee until you get nice aroma of lentils. at this time lentils might have began turning brown. Grain. just heat up within the same pan. Prepare Grain and Lentils inside a pressure oven with sufficient water. I personally use 1 cup grain dal mixture. 1.5cups water for Pongal to really make it little soft and porridge like. adjust water accordingly
Inside a vessel that you need to make Pongal heat ghee. Add tampering ingredients within the order pointed out..just watch for couple of seconds for mustard to crackle and cashews to show red.
Add some powder pointed out above and provide a pleasant stir. Add cooked grain lentil mixture and give a glass filled with water and blend completely. Add salt. Take it to boil and appearance for salt. Garnish with dry grated coconut and coriander if you want for any divine, flavorful, tasty Pongal! Enjoy hot!

Ghee. Be generous
Dry Fruits. Cashew and Raisins :D generously recycled
Dry grated coconut. 2tbsp
Cardamom Powder. 1/s teaspoon (optional)
Mix all things in a vessel and produce it to boil.
You are able to fry dry fruits in ghee or utilize it because it is..I've fried in ghee and added it.
I do not use cardamom powder for sweet pongal.
Use more jaggery if you would like so that it is more sweeter. Enjoy Savory and Sweet Pongal Hot HOT!
