Milagu Ven Pongal is a dish that is made during the festival of Pongal. But did you know that, it’s a staple breakfast and tiffin dish of southern india? Pongal is a dish made from rice and dal and topped with a tadka of ghee, ginger and crushed black pepper.

If you are looking to reduce the saturated fat in your diet, then Pure Olive Oil is a good replacement for ghee. Olive Oil is loaded with healthy fats, which does not increase your cholesterol.

    Add the rice and dal, salt and 5 cups of water. Cover the pressure cooker, place the weight on and cook until you hear a whistle. After the first whistle, turn the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. After 3 to 4 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.

Next add in a teaspoon of cumin seeds, 2 teaspoons of pounded black pepper, a tablespoon of grated ginger, the roughly torn curry leaves. Turn off the heat and stir all the ingredients in the remaining heat.
