Cracked Wheat Rava Pongal

I adopted this recipe from Sailu . I never used

wheat rava before . But the pongal with the

dhal and Methi gives a great taste .For the original

recipe go here. I used methi leaves instead of

spinach and omits the greenchilllies .

Split Moong dal - 1/4 cup

Methi leaves - 1 cup

whole pepper - 1/2 tsp

Ginger grated - 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Red chillies - 2

Hing - a pinch

Curry leaves - few

Oil - 2 tsp

Water - 3 cups

salt to taste

Method

• Soak wheat rava and split moong dal in water for 20 min.
• In a pressure cooker heat oil.
• Add cumin seeds , hing , redchillies , whole pepper , curry leaves and ginger.
• Saute well and add now methi leaves.
• Stir well.
• Drain the water from Rava- Dal mixture and add in the cooker.
• Stir well with the rest of the ingredients for a while.
