[tscii]This is a unique pongal, seasoned with cinnamon stick, star anise and cardamom pods. Coconut milk is used.
My Christian friend does this pongal for St.Anne's Feast.
Very very tasty. It's combo is shallots and green chillies finely chopped. Mixed with lime juice and little salt, aha ha, supero super.
I think Gulabjamun asked if can cook pongal with channa dal.
Here is the recipe. Kugan98
CHANNA DAL PONGAL
Ingredients:
1 cup raw rice
¼ cup boiled channa dal do not over cook it
1 ½ cups sugar
7 cups coconut milk
A pinch of salt
1 inch cinnamon stick
1 star anise
2 cardamom pods
7 cashew nuts roasted in ghee
2 tbs raisins roasted in ghee
3 tbs ghee
Method:
Wash and soak rice for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tbs of ghee in a pot.
Add in the cinnamon, star anise and cardamom pods.
Let them splutter, add in coconut milk.
Now add in the drained rice and stir well. Add in the salt.
When it starts to boil, keep stirring continuously.
The rice will start to thicken and see that the rice is cooked well.
Now add in the sugar and stir well till it dissolves.
Add in also the boiled channa dal.
Keep stirring till the pongal thickens again.
Add in the roasted cashew nuts and raisins.
