Sweet Pongal

Ingredients :-

1. Moong dhal - 1/2 cup.
2. Rice - 1/2 cup.
3. Milk
4. Coconut
5. cashew
6. jaggery
7. raisins (khish-mish - dry grapes)
8. cardamom
9. ghee.

METHOD:

• 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.

Note: This can serve 2 people and If you want it for more, add all ingredients proportionately
