This is very similar to Akkaravadisal, another sweet pongal recipe. Though I am not much of a sweet lover, there are certain sweets to which I will never say no. This is one such. Very easy to make and tasty to eat recipe.
Ingredients
serves 2-3
Rice - 1/2 cup
Milk - 5 cups (3 low fat milk + 2 half and half - my proportion)
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Cashew nuts - 1 tsp
Cardamom crushed - 1/2 tsp
Raisins - 1 tsp
Almonds(cut) - 1 tsp
Ghee - 2.5 tsp
How to make it
- Wash rice and add 5 cups of milk and pressure cook for 10 mins. (I did like this to save time but you can also do the same in open flame and it might take some time to cook completely).
- Transfer to another container. Once the rice is cooked, reduce flame and add sugar little by little and mix well till it is dissolved.
- Remove from fire and add fried cashewnuts, raisins, almonds. Heat rest of the ghee, pour on the top and serve.

ReplyDeleteHi..I'm from srirangam. I had sheeranam many time in temple. I'm very fond of this dish. Will try the recipe soon. Btw... rice should be cooked in milk instead of water?
