Postup

Krok za krokom

1
Combine the rice and moong dal in a pressure cooker with water and salt.
Poznámka kuchára: Ensure both rice and dal are thoroughly rinsed before cooking.
2
Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles on medium heat, then allow the pressure to release naturally.
Približne 15 min
Poznámka kuchára: The cooking time may vary slightly based on your pressure cooker.
3
While the pongal is cooking, prepare the tempering.
4
Heat the ghee in a small pan over medium heat.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: For a vegan version, use a neutral oil or vegan butter substitute instead of ghee.
5
Add the cashews and fry until they turn light golden brown, then remove them and set aside.
Približne 2 min
Poznámka kuchára: Watch the cashews carefully as they can burn quickly.
6
In the same pan, add the crushed black peppercorns and cumin seeds.
7
Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant, then add the grated ginger and curry leaves.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: Be careful as the curry leaves might splutter.
8
Stir in the asafoetida, if using, and cook for another 30 seconds.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: Asafoetida adds a distinct savory flavor but is optional.
9
Once the pressure is released from the cooker, open it and gently mash the pongal to a creamy consistency.
