Navaratri is all around the corner...so thought of sharing a millet Kara Pongal with Pannivaragu/ Proso Millet / Barri.
Kara Pongal is a savoury version of sweet Pongal. The same recipe can be made with normal raw rice which I've shared last year.
Ingredients:
Proso Millet- 1 cup
Moong dal- 1/4 cup
Ghee - 1.5 tablespoons
Pepper- 1 tsp
Cumin/ jeera - 1.5 tsp
Salt to taste
Cashews- few
Asafoetida/ hing - 1/4 tsp
Curry leaves few
Method:
# Wash and soak Pannivaragu for 1/2 hr.
# Discard the soaked water from millet.
# Wash moong dal, mix moong dal and millet add 1.5 cups of water and pressure cook for 3 whisles.
# Dry roast pepper and cumin. Make a coarse powder.
# Once pressure is released, mash Pongal well.
# Add Asafoetida and salt.
# Heat a kadai add ghee. Fry cashews, pepper and cumin powder, curry leaves and pour into the Pongal. Mix well and serve.
