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
Curry leaves1 sprig
Ginger/inji(finely chopped)1tsp
Asafoetida/perugayama generous pinch
Turmeric powder/manjal podia pinch
Cashews(broken)11/2tbs
Ghee/nei3tbs
Oil1tbs
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.

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
