Jowar Sweet Pongal (with Sorghum Flakes)
Prep 5 min · Cook 30 min · Serves 3
Make
Ingredients
- sorghum (jowar) flakes — 1/2 cup
- moong dal — 1/2 cup
- water (enough to cook the dal)
- milk — 2 cups
- jaggery — 1 cup
- cardamom powder — 1 tbsp
- ghee — 1 tbsp
- cashew nuts — 4-6
- dry coconut (as required, in small pieces)
Method
- Cook the moong dal in water until soft.
- Add the sorghum flakes and milk and cook until everything is very soft.
- Stir in the jaggery and cardamom powder until the jaggery has melted.
- Heat the ghee in a small pan, fry the cashews and coconut pieces and tip them over the pongal. Serve hot.
Tips
- General practice: turn the heat right down before adding the jaggery; jaggery stirred into boiling milk can make it split.
