Pongal is a breakfast item in most of the South Indian houses. Its usually prepared with rice and moong dal .Here’s a different and maybe a little healthier version of pongal. I used samba instead of rice. I am saying little healthier since you need to add a little extra ghee. Pongal without ghee is not Pongal!

Samba — 2 cups
Moong dal — 3/4 cup
