Sakkara Pongal/Sweet Pongal

                                                   Wish you all Happy Pongal

Hope everyone had a great and fun filled Pongal celebration.Usually for Pongal celebration we make both sakkara pongal and milk pongal along with pongal kottu.This year I made only sakkara pongal since I have severe sinus infection and cough,could't make rest of the dishes.There are lots of versions of sakkara pongal with different cooking methods such as open pot,pressure cooker method.Today I made it in pressure cooker which is very easy to make and now on to the recipe....

Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Raw rice/Pacharisi3/4cup
Mong Dhal11/2 tbs
Jaggery(paghu vellam)11/4cup
Sugar2tbs
Ghee1/2cup
Cardamom powder1/2tsp
Cashews(broken)2tbs
Raisins(optional)1tbs

Method

                             Wash the rice for 2-3 times and soak it for 10 minutes and drained.
Heat the pressure pan and dry roast the moong dhal to a golden color or till nice aroma comes out.Now add the rice,fry it for a minute and cook it with 23/4 cups of water for 3 whistles in a medium flame.
Meanwhile melt the jaggery with 3/4 cup water and strain it with a strainer to remove the scum particles.Fry the cashews in a tsp of ghee to a golden color.Once the rice and dhal is ready,mash it with a ladle slightly, add the jaggery syrup to it and turn on the stove.
Mix it well,now add the sugar and let it cook in a medium flame for 2 minutes.Add half of the ghee and bring it to a boil and stir in to prevent burning.
Finally add the fried cashews,cardamom powder and the remaining ghee,mix it well.Cook it for a minute then turn off the stove.
Delicious Sakkara pongal is ready.

Enjoy........................


  • Milk(1/2 cup) can also be added along with water(reduce the amount of water accordingly).
  • Pongal becomes thick upon cooling,turn off the stove when it is in a slightly running consistency.
  • If the pongal becomes thick add 1/2 cup of hot milk with a tsp of sugar and mix it well.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
