varahu pongal

varaghu, samai are some of rice varieties available in all the food stores. these are very good when compared to rice. even for cultivating these type of varieties they take very little water whereas for cultivating rice, it requires large quantity of water.

INGREDIENTS:-

varagu arisi 1 cup

cocunut milk 2 cups

water 1 cup

salt as per taste

pepper, cumin dried and powdered a spoon

ghee one spoon

METHOD:-

in one spoon ghee roast the powdered pepper and cumin seeds, add along with cocunut milk, varagu arisi, and add salt to it. put it to a rice cooker and cook and keep it in warm mode for ten minutes.

varagu pongal is ready.

very tasty and healthy. if you do not get varagu you can have it basmathi rice or ordinary ponni rice.
