Godumai /Saamai pongal

     A healthy breakfast which has the goodness of wheat and moong dhal.
My husband has started avoiding white rice..but our cuisine includes mainly rice as  the staple food...
This is a recipe similar to rice pongal. For saamai pongal ..replace wheat with saamai...this too tastes sooo good.
Wheat pongal
Ingredients
Wheat rava-1 cup
Moong dhal -1/2 cup
Thaalikka:(to fry in oil)
Crushed peppercorns-1/2 tsp
Jeera-1/2 tsp
Cashews-1 tabsp
Curry leaves a twig
Green chillies- 1 slit into two
Ginger -1/2 inch (crushed)
Hing-1/2tsp.
Dry Roast  the wheat rava and moong dhal slightly and wash it and  Pressure cook with three cups of water.add salt n hing to the wheat n dhal  ( even before you cook)
   Heat oil (ghee gives a nice aroma and taste ...but calorie conscious people need not use ghee) and add the ingredients one by one( except wheat rava n moong dhal)and add it to the cooked pongal ...
Tasty ..healthy ...wheat pongal is ready!!!
Saamai pongal:
Same as wheat pongal..
Soak 1 cup of saamai for atleast half an hour ...wash it and pressure cook it with 1/2 cup of moong dhal and proceed the same way as above.
This saamai pongal is really very tasty!!!!
Both the pongal can b had with sambar and chutney of your choice.
