ABOUT MILLET INIPU PONGAL
This is a simple inipu pongal recipe made using kodo millet. It is like our regular sweet pongal but replacing rice with millets. First rinse millet and dal twice atleast. To begin first fry nuts and raisins in ghee, set aside. Then roast dal for 2 mins. Add enough water, milk and cook until its soft. Then add powdered jaggery to it and mix well. Once well combined add milk and ghee. Finally add ghee fried cashews ,raisins VARIATIONS
If you like cardamom flavour add it.
You can add jaggery syrup if your jaggery has impurities.
Milk is optional, you can replace it with water itself.
STORAGE
Generally inipu pongal without milk keeps well for 2 days in room temperature itself. However if refrigerated you can extend shelf life by 2 more days. But as this version is with milk after a day refrigerate it. I wouldn’t recommend freezing.
