Sweet Pongal Recipe


How to Make Sweet Pongal Recipe ( मीठा पोंगल रेसिपी )

Ingredients for Sweet Pongal Recipe 

(for two people)

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

Method : 

  • Fry the moong dal (before washing) till it becomes little light brown (it will start smelling). Then soak rice and dal separately for 10 minutes.
  • Thoroughly wash and keep it in cooker with the right water (lesser is o.k.) and cook it separately (in two different containers). Meanwhile cut coconut in very small pieces and fry in ghee. Fry cashew and raisins also separately.
  • Break the jaggery and put in water (very little) and make a syrup. This is done because sometimes jaggery has mud and stones.
  • After we make the syrup strain it through tea strainer. Put the rice and dal 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.

Preparation Time : 5 minutes
Cook Time : 20 minutes
