Sweet Pongal








Ingredients (for two people) :-  


  • Moong dhal - 1/2 cup.             
  • Rice       - 1/2 cup.             
  • Milk 
  • Coconut  
  • cashew  
  • jaggery                                                                       
  • raisins (khish-mish - dry grapes)                                            
  • cardamom                                                           
  • ghee.                                                                        

                                                                           
Fry the moong dhal (before washing) till it becomes little light brown (it  
will start smelling). Then soak rice and dhal separately for 10 minutes.    
Thoroghly wash and keep it in cooker with the right water (lesser is o.k)and
cook it seperately (in two different containers). Meanwhile cut coconut in  
very small pieces and fry in ghee. Fry cashew and raisins also separately.  
Break the jagerry and put in water (very little) and make a syrup. This is  
done because sometimes jagerry has mud and stones. After we make the syrup
strain it through tea strainer. Put the rice and dhal in a big vessel and  
add milk (may be one  cup) and cook it till all the milk gets absorbed. Add
jaggery syrup and again cook till even it gets absorbed. Add three big table
spoons of ghee, powdered cardamon and cook again for a while. Add fried    
coconut, cashews and raisins.                                                
                                                                           
Serve hot in two cups with a spoon of ghee.
