Katti Pongal

When I was a child I liked to go to temples, especially for prasadam.  My all time favorite prasadam is katti pongal made with rice and moongdal and lot of ghee.  The taste was amazing.  Today I want to share my way of making pongal.  Let's start the process.



Ingredients:
1 Cup Rice
1 Cup Moongdal
1 Spoon black peepers
Small cube of ginger
1 spoon cumin seeds
1 spoon mustard seeds
1 spoon urad dal
4 to 5 curry leaves
3 spoon ghee
Half spoon salt
Pinch of asafetida and turmeric powder

Method:
1. First take equal quantities of rice and dal, wash thoroughly, add salt and put it in electric or pressure cooker.  If you are using pressure cook then cook until you get 3 whistles.


2. Heat ghee on a pan.  Cut ginger into small pieces, mash the peppers (it enhances the flavor of the pongal) and add it to the pan of ghee.  Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dal, asafetida and turmeric powder.  Finally fry until gloden brown color and add curry leaves.



3. Transfer the cooked rice and dal to the pan and stir it together.  That is it, pongal is ready.
