This is yet another healthy dish. Everybody likes pongal. But, instead of rice and making pongal, I am going to now tell you how to prepare pongal with wheat rava.

You will need :
Wheat Rava - 1 1/4 cup



Yellow Moong Dal (paasi paruppu) - 1/2 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp (optional)
Oil - 2 tbsp
Pepper corns - 8 - 10 (crushed)
Ginger grated / crushed - 1 tbsp
Cumin seeds ( jeera) - 1 tbsp
Curry Leaves - few
Green chillies - 2 small (chopped)
Onion finely chopped (optional)
Water - 3 cups
Salt - as per taste

1. First wash the moong dal and add 1 cup of water and pressure cook. Keep aside.
2. Then in a pan, heat the oil and put the cumin seeds, curry leaves and crushed pepper.
3. Add the grated ginger and chopped onion(if you are using chopped onion) and saute it.
4. Now add salt, the cooked dal and the 3 cups of water and let it come to a boil.
5. Now add the wheat rava and keep stirring to avoid any lumps. First, it will be watery then it will
    start thickening.
6. Finally, add the ghee and mix well. The best combination with this is coconut chutney.

Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life.  I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as...

Moringa Leaves Chutney Powder / முருங்கைக்கீரை பொடி

Moringa Leaves Chutney Powder In my childhood, we used to live in a big single family home with lots of trees and flowering plants. There was almost every tree in our backyard. You name it, we will have it! For example, Coconut trees, Mango tree, Guava Tree, Pomegranate tree, Banana Tree, Moringa Tree, and the list goes on...... Hmm, we come across a lot about the Moringa Trees, and the goodness of their leaves nowadays. The vegetable from this tree is called Drumsticks. We can cook delicious dishes with these drumsticks, with a combination of lentils or just a curry which will be yummy with cooked rice varieties, idli or dosa.  The leaves from this tree are also very healthy. It can be cooked with lentils as well.  The kids may not like the taste of these leaves.  In this case, we can make chutney powders and they can mix this with hot cooked rice and clarified butter (ghee). When I have a lot of moringa leaves, if I do not want to cook all of them into a curry, I clean ...
