Paal Pongal / Milk Pongal – We make this along with sakkarai pongal and pongal kuzhambu . I personally prefer the sweet version but hubby likes this salt version more.
5 Arisi Sakkarai Pongal Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Raw Rice – 1 cup
Moong dhal – 3 tbsp
Coconut – 2 tbsp
Cashews – few broken and fried in ghee
Milk – 2 cups
Water – 2 cups
Salt – to taste
Method:
- First roast moong dhal and keep aside.Rinse rice and add it along with moong dal in a pressure cooker. Add 1 cup milk and 2 cups water.Make sure your pressure cooker is big enough the water milk and rice mixture should just be to 1/4th of the cooker so that it will not overflow.
- Pressure cook it for 3-4 whistles until soft. Mash it well with a laddle and add the remaining milk say 1/2 cup of milk in intervals twice and mix well.Allow it to boil for 3mins until its thick.Add required salt.
- Add coconut, ghee and give a quick stir.Add the ghee fried cashews and switch it off.
Serve it with pongal curry / kuzhambu the best accompaniment!
My Notes:
- Don’t skip coconut here as its the only main ingredient that gives flavour to the pongal.
- Any veggie gravy will get along with this very well, so when combined and had, no salt is required!
Very tempting…….

Hello Sharmilee,
thanks for stopping and for the sweet comments at my space.
happy Pongal (belated wishes) to you and to your family!!! lovely decorated paanai-s you've got there;
With the picture of the pongal almost "pongi-fying" (yes, the word exists in my vocabulary, hihhihhi), I have that irresistible urge to dip my fingers right inside to have a mouth of it :):)
both the pongals look great; I did Pongal but yet to post it, I think I'll end up posting it only for next Pongal !!!
How very interesting and delicious looking! I'm going to have to try some soon – never even heard of it! Thanks for sharing. Love the blog by the way!

chakkara pongal recipe
Madam, Shall I add Sugar in this recipe instead of salt ? it will be good ??
You can add…yes it will taste good but add cardamom powder
Hai madam. You had mentioned totally 2 cups of milk to be added in step 1. Then again you had mentioned in step 2 to add remaining cups of milk. If so, totally how much cups of milk is needed for this recipe ? i.e in Step 2 how much amount of milk to be added ? I am going to try this recipe for first time 🙂 and also I am a beginner in cooking. Thanks a lot !! many recipes i had tried from your blog .. Its really good and helps me a lot ..
mam, here raw rice or normal cooking rice have to be used ???
It is raw rice…
