Wheat rava sweet pongal recipe
Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook time: 30 mins | Serves: 4
Ingredients
Wheat rava – 1/2 cup
Jaggery – 1/2 cup
Moong dal / Paasi paruppu – 2 tbsp
Salt – 1 generous pinch
Cardamom – 1, powdered
Cashew nuts – 5
Ghee – 2 tbsp
Water – 1 & 1/2 cups to 2 cups
Method
- First heat a tsp of ghee and roast cashew nuts until golden. In the same ghee, roast the wheat rava for a minute in medium flame.
- Add boiling water, cooked moong dal and salt. Mix well and let it get thick.
- Cook covered for 4 minutes or until done in medium flame. Mix well. (You can apparently pressure cook)
- In another vessel, boil 1/4 cup water and add jaggery. Heat until completely gets dissolved.
- Add it to the cooked wheat rava. Mix well.
- Keep cooking and once the syrup gets absorbed well, add one tsp of ghee at a time and mix well.
- Once the mixture leaves the sides of the pan, add cashew nuts and cardamom. Mix well.
Notes
- Take note, 2 tbsp of moong dal should be cooked and kept ready for this recipe.
- I used 1 & 1/2 cup water to cook the rava. If you want you can add 2 cups water and cook.
- Salt enhances the sweetness, so add generous pinch.

Very tasty & yummy pongal.BTW I tried lot of new recipes from your food blog site. Everything has come out perfectly. The way you explained step by step procedure with pics is simply amazing��☺Thanks a ton
Interesting twist on the traditional pongal. Texture must be more like kesari (dry), no? Instead of gooey like Pongal because of the godhuma rava? Happy Pongal!
Yes it will be like kesari, but you can try with more water ratio if you want more moist.
