Ven Pongal

I have tried pongal like 3 or 4 times but i think this is the best recipe till date...both sweet and ven pongal turned out good...

Ingredients
1 cup rice
1/2 cup moong dal
1 cup milk
1 tsp jeera
1 tsp whole pepper
1/2 tsp coarsely powdered pepper
1 tsp cashews
2 and a half tsp ghee
salt to taste

Method

Cook moong dal and rice together till done and keep aside. Heat 1 tsp ghee in a deep pan and fry cashews and keep them aside...now add the remaining ghee and wait till it melts then put jeera in it wait till it splutters then add the whole pepper. Now add cooked dal and rice to the pan. Stir a bit and add milk to the rice and keep stirring till everything is mixed well and till u get the required consistency then season it with salt and pepper. At the end you can add cashews and switch off the heat. Serve hot with coconut chutney.
