Left Over Cooked Rice Pongal

Pongal is a south Indian traditional food. We can prepare varieties of pongal like Ven pongal,Sarkakrai pongal, Barley Sweet Pongal , Milk Pongal, Fruit Pongal, Akkara vadisal. ………. .I have given here a recipe, to prepare pongal with the left-over cooked rice. Very simple and easy.

Ingredients

Left overcooked rice – one cup
Moong dhal – 2 soup spoon full
Cumim seed – ½ tspn

Method
In a pan dry roast wash yellow moong slightly brown. Then soak dhal for 10 min

In a pressure cooker,  add cooked rice, moong dal,  asafoetida, cumin seeds and turmeric powder. 
Cook it over the medium flame for about 3 whistles.
Once the pressure cooker cools down,  add ghee to the rice and dal pongal and mix it well.
