Instructions
- Wash the rice and dal together and keep aside.
- Heat 4 tbsp ghee in a cooker and add the rice and dal mixture. Saute for about 2 minutes.
- Now add three cups of water and close the lid. Steam cook for about 10 minutes.
- Now open the lid and add 1 cup of water again and mix again. Cook on low flame for about 15-20 minutes more till almost all the water is absorbed and the rice and dal are cooked. Mash a little if needed.
- Now add the jaggery and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cardamom powder and mix well.
- Heat 2 tsp ghee in a small kadai and add crushed almonds and raisins to it. Once they turn light brown, add it to the pongal and give a good stir. Now take the pongal off the stove and let it cool a bit. Serve warm with a dollop of ghee if you wish!
