Ven pongal also known as Ghee pongal \/ Khara pongal made in pressure cooker is one of the most popular South Indian breakfast recipes especially in Tamil nadu. I usually follow my MIL\u2019s method as its easy and tastes the best. She makes it directly in a pressure cooker. Sometimes we make this using leftover cooked rice too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, its a very easy one pot meal for breakfast and dinner. So I usually make this pongal in busy mornings & mostly for my guests adding more ghee ;). The taste and softness of pongal depends not only in the quantity of ghee but also on the quality of rice and quantity of water, rice and moong dal ratio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Tamilnadu, we get pongal rice (Raw rice\/Pacharisi). We use it for making sakkarai pongal<\/a><\/strong> and ven pongal. Here in Bangalore, I buy the costliest, good quality Sona masoori raw rice also known as kolam rice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
