Make the quantity only for one meal.<\/li><li>In case you have more, add some water to it before refrigerating. It becomes thicker when refrigerated and adding some water to it will take care of the consistency.<\/li><li>Use any small grain rice to make Pongal. I use Sona Masoori rice.<\/li><li>You can add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, green peas to make it healthier.<\/li><li>Adding ghee is very important. It gives nice taste, aroma, and smooth texture, but Vegans can skip ghee\/clarified butter and replace it with any cooking oil.<\/li><li>I have crushed the black pepper coarsely and added it to the dish. If you like, you can use whole black peppercorn too.<\/li><li>Dry roasting dal\/lentil and rice before cooking is an important step. Don&rsquo;t skip that.<\/li><li>To make this recipe nut-free, skip the cashew nuts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Do give this Indian traditional recipe a try this Sankranti (14th January), your family will love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pressure-cooker-ven-pongal-recipe.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Pressure cooker ven pongal recipe.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-11811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pressure-cooker-ven-pongal-recipe.jpg.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pressure-cooker-ven-pongal-recipe.jpg-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pressure-cooker-ven-pongal-recipe.jpg-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pressure-cooker-ven-pongal-recipe.jpg-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.cookingcarnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pressure-cooker-ven-pongal-recipe.jpg.jpg\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"do-you-enjoy-one-pot-dishes-here-are-some-easy-and-delicious-ideas\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Do You enjoy one-pot dishes?

Make the quantity only for one meal.<\/li>\n<li>In case you have more, add some water to it before refrigerating. It becomes thicker when refrigerated and adding some water to it will take care of the consistency.<\/li>\n<li>Use any small grain rice to make Pongal. I use Sona Masoori rice.<\/li>\n<li>You can add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, green peas to make it healthier.<\/li>\n<li>Adding ghee is very important. It gives nice taste, aroma, and smooth texture, but Vegans can skip ghee\/clarified butter and replace it with any cooking oil.<\/li>\n<li>I have crushed the black pepper coarsely and added it to the dish. If you like, you can use whole black peppercorn too.<\/li>\n<li>Dry roasting dal\/lentil and rice before cooking are important steps. Don&rsquo;t skip that.<\/li>\n<li>To make this recipe nut-free, skip the cashew nuts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For Traditional pressure cooker version &ndash;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow the same recipe and
