Pongal:(Dry Version)
On the other day, I was just goofing around, totally jobless(Yes, you guessed it right)…but was not in the mood for cooking! Somehow, forced myself to create an edible meal…threw few things together, and guess what? The lazy version or adult version whatever you can call it…but the Dry Pongal (which eventually turned up) that got ready in less than 10 minutes, was absolutely delicious:) In fact, am gonna fix the same quite often!!! Who could stop me?:)
Ingredients:
Raw rice 1 cup
Mung dal 1/4 cup
Ginger 2″ grated
Peppercorns 2 spoons

Ghee few spoons.
