Godhuma Rava Pongali

January 5, 2016 by Pavani Leave a Comment

Blogging Marathon# 60: Week 1/ Day 3

Theme: Festival of the month Recipes

Dish: Godhuma Rava Pongali

I have another sweet dish for the last day of this week’s marathon. Sweet pongali or Shakkara pongali is traditionally made for Sankranthi. Coincidentally in Tamil Nadu, sankranthi is called pongal which is also the name of a rice & lentil based dish.


My sweet pongal slightly deviates from the traditional dish because I used godhuma rawa/ wheat rawa/ cracked wheat instead of rice. I think fine bulgur will be a good substitute for cracked wheat. Other than change in the grain everything else remains the same as the rice based version.

Moong dal is cooked along with cracked wheat either in milk or water or a combination of both and then sweetened with jaggery and flavored with ground cardamom. I used some coconut sugar and a little bit of jaggery in the dish.

    Halwa (Prasadam) made with bulgur wheat is my absolute favorite sweet dish. I cannot wait to try bulgur with moong dal! Might try it out this weekend, as a matter of fact! Thanks for this yummy recipe!
