Venn Pongal Khara Pongal savoury south indian pongal recipe

Ven Pongal Khara Pongal is a filling breakfast or dinner recipe and its typical authentic south indian food which served traditionally with sambar, coconut chutney and medhu vada 🙂

Ingredients

Raw Rice – 1 Cup
Split Yellow Moong Dhal / Pasi Paruppu – 1/2-2/3 Cup
Cumin Seeds – 2 tsp
Whole Pepper – 2 tsp
Green Chilli – 1-2 Numbers
Ginger – 1 Small Piece
Mustard Seeds – 1 tsp
Hing – 1/4tsp
Curry Leaves – Few
Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
Ghee/Oil – 2 tsp (I used oil)
Water & Salt – As Required

Ven Pongal Preparation

  • Soak rice and dal (Optional to roast with little ghee till nice aroma) for 30 minutes.
  • Coarsely crush the cumin, pepper and salt using mixie/pestel.
  • Heat ghee/oil in a pan splutter mustard seeds, add grated ginger, finely chopped green chili, curry leaves, turmeric powder and hing saute for a while.
  • Finally add the crushed powder and add this to the soaked rice/dhal mixture.
  • Add 4 Cups of water, stir well, adjust salt and pressure cook it for 3 whistles.
  • Allow to cool completely and mash it well.
  • Serve hot with coconut chutney/sambar/Medu Vada or Masal vadai.

Notes

  1. Can add little hot water/milk if it needs watery texture before serving.
  2. I have mentioned dal quantity as 1/2 to 3/4 th cup, more the dal the pongal tastes so good we like it so.
  3. Also add generous cumin and pepper which enhances the pongal taste.

Hope you guys are doing good! Here is our Vinayaga Hope you guys are doing good! Here is our Vinayagar Chaturthi Celebration picture. For the festival we made 11 items (yes kids helped a lot). Those were half sweet and half savory kozhukattai varieties and used palm jaggery (Karupatti) as sweetener and also most of them were millet based...For the menu and other details do check the link provided in Insta bio...

Bucket Rasam anyone? Hubby got his Vaccine last Sa Bucket Rasam anyone?
Hubby got his Vaccine last Saturday and was complaining about sore arm. I am postponing it since kids have their  year end exams soon. Also I started cleaning up the garden and what not my allergies are high due to pollen. So all we need is bucket Rasam everyday to keep us better. On the picture it's paruppu rasam and it's kids favorite rasam as well.
