Sabhudhana+rice sweet pongal


I already posted sweet pongal. For making it suitable for this hot summer add sabodhana also. Have a look of it.

   Ingredients:-
          
    1/2 cup rice
    1/4 cup sabodhana/sago/saggubiyyam
    1/4 cup moong dal or channa dal 
    1- 11/2 cup jaggary powder
    5 - 6 cups milk
    1 tbsp ghee
    Cashewnut (optional)              
    Kismis (optional)
    Almond (optional)
    Grated coconut (optional)

     Procedure:-

     -you can make it either in a pressure pan or vessel. 
     -First wash the rice and dal together and soak in 3 cups of water for 1 hr. in a vessel you are going to cook.
     - soak sabudhana in 1 cup of water for 1 or 2 hr.
     -boil 1 cup of water in a seperate vessel and when bubbling add soaked sabudhana , stir it, cover it and cook on low flame with frequent stirring to avoid sticking to vessel. If necessary add little water. When 90% of the seed turned transperent turn off the flame with lid over it.

     -A -  If you are cooking the rice in a pressure pan then add 1 cup of milk, put  weight and cook on low flame for 5 min. when the whistle is about to blow, take out from the flame.Wait for 2 min. Remove the lid.

or     -B -  If you are cooking in a vessel be careful; the milk may over flow.So don't add  all the milk at a time. First add only 1/2 cup of milk and keep lid with a long spoon in it.Stir occasionally. Be careful the rice may stick to the bottom
. After they absorb,add little more till the rice and dal becomes soft .

     -It must be softer than white rice and little bit paste. The consistency must  be like kheer. If necessary add more milk; more creamy milk,more taste.When the pongal becomes cool,it becomes thick.

     -Now add gratted jaggery and sabhudhana, mix it and keep the lid.Don't wait till the jaggery mix in the rice. Remove from the flame.

     -Now in a small pan take ghee and fry dry fruits.Add to the pongal.

     -Pongal is ready to eat.

     Tips:-

     -Before serving taste it. As per your taste if needed, add jaggery.
     -If you doesn't want to use more milk, then cook with the water and in the end  add 2 cups of milk.
