Celebrating pongal with Sakarai Pongal/Sweet Pongal

At home pongal is one of the festivals celebrated in a grand manner.Mom used to make pongal and other goodies and we would pray in the front yard along with a whole bunch of people, and some times we would get to serve food to every on who came.
After marriage even in my In-Laws place it was a big deal.
This year , following tradition we made sakarai pongal and offered it to gods.

Heat 1 Tbsp ghee in the cooker and fry the cashews and set aside.
Wash the mung dal and rice in 2-3 changes of water and put in the cooker along with the milk and water.(Rice to water ratio-1:3, but since we are adding 1 cup of milk we can leave it at 1:2)
