Aval Khaara Pongal (Poha Hot Pongal)

Pongal is a very famous South Indian Breakfast Delicacy made with Rice and moong dal and tempered with freshly ground spices with ghee. I replaced rice with Aval/Poha/Beaten rice and it was extraordinarily tasty. I started doing this as a regular breakfast and amazingly though it is a filling one, doesn't give the feeling of heaviness... -

Ingredients for making Aval Khaara Pongal:

(Serves 4 People)


Aval/Poha/Beaten rice 4 cups

Moong dal 1 cup

salt to taste

For seasonig:



Finely chopped ginger 2 tea spoons

Cumin seeds 1 tea spoon

Coarsely crushed pepper corns 2 tea spoons

Hing powder 1/2 tea spoons

Curry leaves for garnishing

Cashews 5 to 7 (Optional)

Ghee 2 tb spoons



How to make Aval Khaara Pongal?

In a broad pan dry roast moong dal till nice aroma comes.
Add 4 cups of water to it. Wait till it boils 50%.

Now wash the Poha well and drain the water and keep aside.







When the moong dal is fully boiled but not mushy add the poha with 2 cups of water and salt and keep stirring.



When the stuff becomes thick like a porridge switch off the stove.



The poha will absorb the water in no time.

In a sauteing pan heat the ghee and add all the items mentioned above under seasoning and transfer to the Pongal Pan.

Mix well and serve hot with chutney or sambhar.

Note:
The amount of water required varies according to the thickness of the Poha. So adjust the water accordingly.
