Coconut milk sweet pongal – Pongal recipes

Coconut milk sweet pongal

 

Sweet Pongal is one of my husband’s favourite dishes. This recipe is made with coconut milk to enhance the flavour. As I’ve mentioned in previous Pongal recipe posts, I’m not a big fan of Pongal from my childhood. However, now that I’m married, I make Pongal at least once a month for my husband. Kesari, Sweet Pongal is his go-to dessert at all times. Aside from traditional Indian sweets such as Badusha, Ladoo, and Jangiri.

 

 

I wanted to try something different for this year’s pongal. So I decided to experiment with coconut milk. The addition of coconut milk improves the flavour (confirmed by my family). My grandmother still makes Pongal in a brass pot because she dislikes the taste of pressure cooker Pongal. I usually make the pressure cooker version, but when I was in India a month ago, I tried the brass pot version, and it definitely tastes better. I’ve used moong dal, but my grandmother prefers chana dal. You can substitute chana dal for moong dal.

 

This recipe be can be easily converted to Vegan Just replace Ghee with odourless oil or vegan butter.
