Ven pongl is a well know break fast dish in south India.It's a combination of rice & moong dal with a kick of black pepper to it.I'm gonna share a little healthy version of pongal made of quinoa & dal here.The texture looks dry & you can change it to a creamy one by adding a little extra water while cooking.
2 Servings
Ingredients
1 Cup dry quinoa
1/2 Cup moong dal
1/2 Cup coconut powder
1&1/2 Cup water
Salt
Seasoning
1 Tbs mustard seeds
1 Tbs Jeera
2 Tbs ghee or butter
1 Tbs chopped or grated ginger
2 Tbs black pepper powder
2 Red chili's
2 Tbs peanuts
Few curry leaves
In a
pressure cooker take quinoa, dal, coconut & salt with 1& 1/2 cups of
water. Cook it for 2 whistles & switch off heat.
Heat a
pan with butter. To that add peanuts and fry them for few seconds & to that
add mustard seeds, jeera, ginger, pepper powder red chilis & curry leaves.
Fry them till mustard starts jumping & off heat.
Now transfer
the contents directly to pan while it is hot & mix well with the seasoning.
good one .. a change frm usual rice one
