Venpongal

                        Venpongal is a easy to make breakfast item which I make almost every Saturday for breakfast or dinner.Sometimes make it for lunch if I feel lazy to cook or run out of idly batter.Here is the recipe...

 


Ingredients



IngredientQuantity
Raw rice/paccharisi1cup
Moong dhal/paasiparuppu1/3cup
Cumin seeds/jeeragam11/2tsp
Black pepper/milagu1tsp

Turmeric powder/manjal podia pinch
Cashews(broken)11/2tbs
Ghee/nei3tbs

Saltto taste


Method 

  • Wash the rice and dhal together in the water for couple of times.
  • Pressure cook with a pinch of turmeric powder,asafoetida and the salt with 4 cups of water for 2 whistles in a medium flame.
  • Meanwhile heat the ghee and oil in a pan and crackle the black pepper then add the chopped ginger,curry leaves and cashews.Finally add the cumin seeds and put off the stove.
  • Mix it well to the cooked rice and dhal mixture and mix it well,if needed add a tbs of ghee.
  • Serve it hot with chutney and sambhar.

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

  • The amount of water depends on the quality of the rice,if it is too thick after pressure cook,add a cup of boiling water with a pinch of salt.
  • If the mixture is too watery,cook it again till it gets thick.
  • Usually I added 1/2tsp of crushed pepper and 1/2 tsp of whole pepper.
  • The secret of getting tasty pongal is the amount of ghee used.

Cauliflower Masala/Gobi Masala - No tomato Version

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                     ...
