Spicy Pongal/Khara Pongal


 


Ingredients:
  • Rice Grains: 3/4 glass
  • Split Mung Beans/Moong Dal: 1/4 glass
  • Cumin Powder: 1 tsp
  • Black Pepper: 3/4 tsp (crush to half)
  • Cashewnuts: 7-8
  • Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp
  • Water: 5  1/2 glass
  • Coconut: 2tbsp (grated)
  • Ghee: 1 tbsp
  • Oil: 2tbsp
 Servings: 3

 Method:
  • Dry roast split mung beans till it turns light golden brown.
  • Once roasted take the split mung beans & rice grains wash them together, keep aside.
  • Heat the oil in a big sturdy pot.
Note: It is better to use non-stick pot to avoid the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  • Add pepper, cumin powder, turmeric powder & cashewnuts, sauté for 10sec.
  • Add rice & split mung beans.
  • Immediately add water.
  • Add salt & coconut.
  • Adjust seasoning, mix well.
  • Close the lid.
  • When it starts boiling, keep in low flame.
  • Occasionally stir to avoid sticking to bottom.
  • Cook till rice absorbs all water & it reaches a semi liquid state.
  • Add ghee, mix well.
  • Spicy Pongal is ready to serve hot with coconut chutney.
Note: It gets thick when cooled so don’t let water to dry out completely. I cooked in Rice cooker. Can also be pressure cooked for 3 whistles.
