Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup raw rice
  • 1/8 cup yellow moong dal
  • 1 and 1/2 cups sugarcane juice
  • 1/8 cup sugar candy
  • 2 tablespoon ghee melted

Instructions

  • Peel off the hard sugarcane outer skin, then chop into small cubes. Transfer to a mixer. I did this in batches as I used my small mixer jar.
  • Add little water and grind it. Now drain the sugarcane extract in a strainer.
  • Squeeze it with your hands or press using a spoon. Keep a bowl underneath to hold the juice. Repeat this again if you feel the extract is juicy then grind again and discard. Then proceed grinding with next batch.
  • Measure and rice, dal. In a pressure pan roast dal till slightly golden, set aside. Rinse rice and add it to cooker along with sugarcane juice.
  • Pressure cook for 4 whistles in low medium flame. Once rice is cooked, add sugar candy.
  • Stir it well, the sugar candy will melt  and it will turn gooey. Mash the rice with a ladle. Add cardamom powder.
  • Mix well, finally heat 2 tablespoon ghee, add cashews fry till golden add it to the pongal, stir well and cook for 2mins.
  • Serve Karumbu Chaaru Pongal hot or warm.

Notes

  • You can even add edible camphor for extra flavour.
  • Adding sugar is optional but I wanted my pongal to be more sweet so added it.
  • The number of whistles depends on your cooker size and the variety of raw rice so adjust accordingly.
