STEP 1.Wash the rice and dal. Take a pressure cooker. Add rice and dal. Rice and dal should be in 2:1 ratio.
STEP 2.Add salt and water. Pressure cook for 2-3whistles. Usually we take 2cups water 1cup rice. For Pongal we have to add more water i.e. For 1cup 3-3.5 cups you can add water. It should cook well and it should be in little watery texture because when it cools down it gets thickened.
STEP 3.Take a pan. Heat oil/ghee add cashews, crush pepper corns and jeera in pestle and add to the ghee. Once you add pepper and jeera switch off the stove.
STEP 4.Add the tadka to the Pongal and mix well. Pongal should be little mashed. Add more ghee if required.
STEP 5.Serve hot with Coconut chutney, sambar and Medu Vada.
