DEVAKOTTAI SAMAYAL ARAI

  Hello readers, I am going to share the recipe for a healthier version of the traditional Pongal dish. It is a savory prepared for breakfast in South India. The original recipe is prepared with sona masoori rice and yellow moong dal. But now-a-days many people have started eating less carbs. So, I have used Quinoa and Oats with little rice in this recipe. You will need (serves 2 people) Ingredients List- 1 Sona Mosoori Rice - 1/4 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats - 1/2 cup Quinoa - 1/4 cup Yellow Moong Dal - 1/4 cup Ingredients List - 2 Add the following with the Pongal before cooking Water - 5 cups Whole Peppercorns - 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp Green chillies - 2 medium size Ginger - 1 inch piece (peel the skin, because it is toxic, chop and crush the pieces using a mortar and pestal)   Turemeric Powder - 1/4 tsp Salt - 1 tsp or as per your taste Ingredients List - 3 Ingredients you will need for tempering: Fresh pepper powder - 1/2 tsp (or 1 tsp if you want the pongal to be spicy) Cu
