Pongal

[hehehewalrus]

hi,
This is my method of preparing venn Pongal. It turns out slightly dry.
Take 3 cups of rice and 1 cup of moong dhal and pressure cook it in 4 cups of water. Add salt to the water. Since I used normal rice, i shred it a few seconds in the blender. In a pan, heat up ghee and add curryleaf, cashewnuts, pepper corns and jeera. Transfer the rice-dal mixture once ready and mix. Turned out quite well though little bit dry.

Tamil Nadu style pongal is on the drier side and kerala pongal is thoroughly semi-solid. In between taste will be fine. Can anyone say where I am going wrong? Please share your personal methods of preparation.
