Moong Dal Broken Corn Pongal with Peanut Chutney
Pongal/ dal khichdi is one of the healthiest breakfast items one could eat. Even better if it is made out of whole grains like broken corn(maize ground coarsely). Suma has shared this interesting recipe with all of us to try and enjoy.
Ingredients:
Moong dal and Broken corn in equal measures(1/2 cup each)
Four times the water
2 onions slit lengthwise
2 tsp ghee/ clarified butter
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin/jeera seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coarsely ground peppercorns
1/4 inch ginger- finely chopped
Finely chopped coriander leaves
Salt to taste
For chutney:
Peanuts-2 fistful
2 green chillies
1 tomato
2 tsp coriander leaves chopped
Salt to taste
Appropriate amount of water
P:S- You could add chopped onions to this chutney to enhance it's flavour.
How to prepare:
Heat ghee , mustard seeds, jeera seeds, sliced onions coarsely ground peppercorns and finely chopped ginger. Fry for a minute. I have taken broken corn and moongdal in equal quantities but you could take slightly more corn. It would taste better. Add salt and atleast 4 times the water. You could add vegetables of your choice too. Cook for 5 whistles in a pressure cooker. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves. Serve with or without a tsp of ghee/clarified butter with each serving.
For groundnut chutney:
Take two fistful of groundnuts. Fry. Keep aside. Remove the skin of the peanuts. In the same pan, fry green chillies, tomato(optional) and coriander leaves(optional). When it cools, grind all these together using salt and tamarind.
