Pongal is an extremely important festival for all of us. It marks the start of probably the most auspicious month within the Tamil Calender. Pongal can also be refereed to as &"Thai Thirunaal&". I needed to celebrate it in a tiny way since it's the very first Pongal for Kulfi (my newborn daughter). I made sakkarai pongal (recipe below), puliotharai (Tamarind grain) and urad dhal fritters (ulundu boonda / vadai ) for supper. As being a week day, things got bit busy inside my finish. We offered an easy prayer and ended your day with plateful of those treats.
I must wish my lovely readers a hot and auspicious Pongal Sankaranthi Lohri. Permit this to year contain plenty of sweetness such as this dish.
Sakkrai pongal is really a sweet dish that’s made at the time of Pongal. It is made from grain and moong dhal. I began by pressure cooking them along with water. Once cooked, it had been mashed and hang aside. I added it to some pot of boiling jaggery syrup flavored with eco-friendly cardamons. Once mixed, I roasted cashews and raisins in homemade ghee. The piping hot sakkara pongal coated with tons and tons of ghee sampled absolutely divine. The crunchy cashews with pillowy soft raisins added the best texture in every bite. This really is this kind of easy recipe and it is perfect one to begin with for beginner cooks. You just need a pressure oven.
I offered it to my boy with urad dhal boonda and puliotharai in the favorite Avent kid’s plate. He loved the flavour of sakkarai pongal. He ate it by mixing it using the tamarind grain. He likes sweet-spicy taste much like me. Because this pongal is smooth and packed with calories, I had been happy he ate it. It is really an ideal snack / dessert for your children. A goody such as this is nice when a while. Being living in america, I'm trying my favorite to consider him to my country through food. Sakkarai Pongal is really a dish which depicts Tamil Nadu truly. This can be a true blue Tamilian delicacy. You may also check my recipe for savory pongal (it’s known as Ven Pongal in Tamil) as well as my recipe for Sakkarai Pongal with brown grain .
My notes to create scrumptious Murunga Idli Kadai Style Sakkarai Pongal:
- I personally use pressure oven by having an inner vessel to prepare them. That’s how my mother and my grandmother means they are. We fill water into lower pressure oven and put another stainless container within it which’s in which the grain-dahl is going to be added.
- You may also directly prepare it in the bottom of the oven but make certain to get rid of the grain-dahl mixture right after pressure subsides within the oven so that you can prevent burning at the end of the oven.
- And if you don’t possess a pressure oven, don’t worry. You are able to prepare it over medium heat having a kadai or pan. Cover and prepare the grain-dahl mixture for forty-five minutes but keep examining the mixture after half an hour of cooking to make certain there's no burning.
- Use equal part of grain (I personally use raw ponni grain) and split moong dahl (1:1). Soak them together for half an hour.
- Pressure prepare it with water (1:1:6. grain: moong dhal: water). For example, when we use 1 cup grain, 1 cup moong dahl then you definitely use 6 cups water. I love my pongal to become creamy. Once cooked, mash it with the rear of a ladle. Add little warm milk to obtain the preferred consistency.
- Any sweetener works but to obtain the beautiful brown color, you should use jaggery or brown sugar or coconut palm sugar. You can begin with 1/2 cup of jaggery (packed) and progress.
- Fresh ghee is required to flavor the sweet pongal.
- It’s optional to make use of pacha kalpooram (edible camphor) for flavor
- Garnsih with ghee roasted cashews and raisins
- 1 cup raw ponni grain
- 1 cup moong dhal
- 7.5 cups jaggery + 1/2 cup water to create syrup
- Pinch of salt
- 2 teaspoon cardamon powder
- 6 cups water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoon ghee plus much more while serving
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 2 tablespoon raisins
- Pinch of Edible camphor (Pacha Kalpooram Optional)
- Pressure oven
- Large cooking pan
- Soak grain and moong dahl with excess water for half an hour minimum.
- Pressure prepare grain with moongh dhal for six whistles. Turn off the flame. When the pressure has settled lower, open the pan and mash the mix. Put aside.
- Within the mean while prepare jaggery with 1/2 cup water and produce it to some boil. It takes approximately 10-fifteen minutes. The jaggery syrup ought to be thick and never runny.
- Add cardamon powder and pinch of salt. Mix the mashed grain-moong dhal. Provide an entire stir. When the sakkarai pongal gets thick and developing protuberances, add milk and press it against the bottom of the cooking vessel to produce creamy texture.
- Inside a separate pan, heat ghee and roast the cashews first. Add these to the sakkarai pongal. Fry the raisins within the same pan, until they bulge out.
- Include that towards the grain-moong dhal mixture. Mix rid of it to mix. Serve hot.
- You are able to keep rest in fridge. But don't forget to heat it with milk whenever you serve. I microwave it on high for just two minutes to obtain the sloppy, gooey consistency.
- Serve hot with medu vadai or boondas.
