Sweet pongal (Sakkarai pongal)
. Sweet pongal is the famous Indian sweet prepared during pongal festival. Sprinkling the nuts roasted in the ghee, makes the perfect starter for the special occasion. And, I made this to celebrate my parents anniversary today. There are many variations of sweet pongal and this how my amma makes it. In most of the temples in south India, this type of sweet pongal is served after pooja. Happy Anniversay dad & mom :) Ingredients : Rice - 1/2 cup Milk - 2 cups Jaggery - 1/2 to 3/4 cup ( to ur sweet level) Water - 2tbsp Cardamom powder -1/2 tsp Nuts - 1/4 cup (Cashew nuts, raisins) Ghee - 2 tbsp Edible camphor - a pinch Directions to cook : # Clean & wash the rice well, add 2 cups of milk & pressure cook them. # Heat the water in the pan, add the jaggery.
