    Today's neivedhyam was with Moth dal, Moong dal Ven Pongal. I make Ven Pongal in three different ways. This adds to the collection and is a very healthy dish to boot. I recently picked up moth dal and have not cooked before. Deciding what to do, I thought making it as Ven Pongal was the best thing. I added Moong dal to make it more like the regular Ven pongal taste.

    It would help if you soak the dal overnight. I simply roasted it and pressure cooked it. That made it crunchy and not soft. Else otherwise the taste was simply superb.
