RAVA PONGAL | SOOJI PONGAL | RAVA KHARA PONGAL

Rava Pongal is one of the simple breakfast recipe done using rava and moong dhal along with seasoning. We usually prepare Ven pongal using raw rice and moong dhal. Here, moong dhal needs to be pressure cooked and can be done in quick time. The ratio of moong dhal and rava varies according to individual preference. 







Only tricky thing in this recipe is that rava should be cooked carefully, or else lumps will be formed and rava will remain uncooked.
