Shubha, please follow the recipe once and see if that works for you. It is mentioned in the recipe to use 8 cups water for 1 cup rice.

Hi Shilpa,
i have tried preparing pongal many a times.The first time I prepared it it got burnt at the bottom due to less water.Next time I added 5 cups of water and again it got burnt.Each time it gets burnt a little at the bottom of the cooker.How do I avoid this?Please tell me the exact ratio of water to be added and the time to cook it and at what heat.I place the weight when I close the lid.The kitchen is equipped with electric stove(with 1 to 9 and Hi).

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

I am a Maharashtrian. I made this dish today and it tasted “AWESOME”.. My husband loved it a lot too…It is a shame on me that I had never tasted pongal before.. We have decided to make it as our regular breakfast item now.. thank you for the wonderful recipe.. God Bless

Hmm. I guess the Bangalore style pongal is different from Tamilnadu style. The pongal in TN is in the same consistency as rice in pulav.

Thanks for the great pongal recipe,

With little ginger (1 inch finely chopped) it tastes great.

Mosaru bajji is superb,

with half spoon of cumin powder in that would make it wonderful….

heyy shilpa , i truely love ur website, though i rarely cook , i just love ur pictures of each dish, they all so appetizing n tasty!!!

not many ppl like pongal but i plain lov it, cause my mom generally makes it a lil dry , but with thick only tomato goju or with coconut chutney…..so each time it seems lik a festive breakfast to me
