THINAI (FOXTAIL MILLET ) SWEET PONGAL

Hi all,

I am paired with  Joanne T ferguson this month. I used foxtail millet and organic jaggery for making this chakkarai pongal. This tasted yum and kids enjoyed.

INGREDIENTS

Foxtail millet - 1 cup

Moong dhall -1/4 cup

Jaggery - 1 cup

Cardamon powder - 1 pinch

Ghee -2 tbsp

Cashew for garnish

METHOD

Dry roast moong dhall until it changes it colour.

Combine moong dhall , foxtail millet and add 3 cups of water and pressure cook for 4 whistles.

Dissolve jaggery and stain it. Make thick  jaggery syrup. Add cardamon powder.

Add the cooked mixture in to that and mix well.

Heat ghee and roast cashews , add to chakkara pongal.

Enjoy hot chakkara pongal.
