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

In a
pressure cooker take quinoa, dal, coconut & salt with 1& 1/2 cups of
