In reply to Yesha. Hi, Yes you can make ahead and serve but its shelf life is maximum 12 hours based on the weather in your place. Based on your plan for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can make ahead accordingly. If you are making in pressure cooker, take the pongal, add some ghee, mix well and keep in a vessel. Keep the vessel above water in another pot (double boiling method) and sim it for 10 to 15 mins before serving. Switch off and keep the vessel covered over the boiled hot water to keep it soft. In hotels, this method is followed. If you use, instant pot or electric rice cooker, keep in warm mode. Add some ghee before serving. It stays warm and soft for hours. Hope its clear. Please let me know which one you followed so that it would be helpful for all.

If I want to make this ahead of time and want to serve for guest what is the best and good day to warm it so it remains soft and not dry out or burn out
