- To begin with : Rinse millet and dal, drain water and set aside.

- Cook until soft. It takes atleast 10-12 mins to get cooked.
- When you press it should be easily mashable thats perfectly cooked millet for pongal.
- Add powdered jaggery. I used organic jaggery which is free from impurities. Instead you can add water to jaggery powder make syrup, strain and add it too. Have showed the steps here.
- Mix it well until nicely combined.
- Add 1/2 cup remaining milk.
- Mix well and let it boil for few mins until slightly thick.
- It becomes thick like this.
- Add fried nuts,raisins along with ghee. Add cardamom powder if you prefer at this stage.
- Give a quick mix and switch off.

Notes
- Add more water if needed to cook millet and dal.
- Cook millets and moongdal together then half it to make sweet pongal and the savory version this way its very easy.
- Pongal gets thicker in consistency after cooling down so switch off accordingly.
If it gets dry, while serving add little ghee and milk. - Use any millet of your choice.
- I used varagu kodo millet as it tastes close to rice.
- I used paagu velam to get the dark brown color and also for the taste.You can use normal round jaggery too.
