A healthier alternative to the regular rice pongal that is usually made in almost all south-indian homes. We had this at a friends place for the first time and instantly fell in love with it. From then on it is more of cracked wheat pongal than rice pongal in our home.
Serve option... Warm with ghee
This is what u'll need....
Cracked wheat fine 3/4 cup
Moong dal 1/4 cup
Coarsely crushed pepper 1 tspn
Cumin seeds 1 tspn
Green chilli
Salt to taste
Ghee 2 tbspn
Here is the stir....- Heat a pan and fry the cracked wheat for a few minutes till you can smell its aroma. Transfer it to a cooker
- Repeat the same with moong dal
- Add ghee to the pan. When it warms up add crushed black pepper, jeera and slitted green chillies. Fry them about a minute and then transfer the contents to the cooker
- Add water in the ratio (1:4::wheat+dal:water). Put required salt and cook till done
- Serve hot with little ghee on top. Try coconut chutney on the side for a wonderful taste
