I learnt this from OnDemand/Online Teacher (Verayarum illa.. Mynavathy thaan) hahaha My mom. This is how she taught me.
Pacha Paiyura ponn nirathuku varuthuko, Rombha varuthuda thada appuram nalla irukkathu.. Appuram wash rice, moong dhal. Add water a lil less than 2 times the portion of Rice. Cooker la vachi cook pannanu. konjam Salt (pinch) add panniko (Amma Tip / It would boost the sweet taste. True it was!!!).
Coconut aa konjam chinna chinnadha cut panni ghee varuthu vachikanum [tip from Aarthi's Indian Veg Recipe]. Cashew and Dry grapes yum ghee la varuthu thani thaniya vachiko. VeLLam konjama thani la karachi vachikitu heat pannanum [Kambhi padham vara varaikum heat pannanum / thanks to Ravi mama who gave me this tip. Pongal tasted very good]. Leave the cooker for two more whistle than usual cooking style. Open the cooker and add milk and start mixing till the milk is absorbed. Now add veLLam syrup and mix well. You should be getting the smell by now. Inviting trouble from other house ;). Add Ghee, powdered Cardomom and sim for some time. Add fried Cashew, dry Grapes, coconut to the sweet pongal and serve them.Our original plan was to make Ven Pongal. So yennn viduvomae..
took a lil portion of the rice and moong dhal before adding milk and sweet and made these changes. Venn Pongal ready in 2 mins!!!!Fry finely chopped green chillies and ginger in ghee. Fry whole black peppers and cumun seeds in a Pan. When the peppers burst add chillie and ginger pieces. Add Salt and curry Leaves and Mix all for Venn Pongal. Add roasted Cashew and lots of Ghee for a mouth watering Venn Pongal. Serve the pongal with coconut cutney seasoned with oil. Kirukals by Kuttibalu @ 9:50 AM,
