Samba Godumai Sakkarai Pongal with Moong Dal, Double Beans Sundal ~ Navratri Special Dishes

The second three days are dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, and the prasadams will have to be sweet based, mostly with Jaggary, we can use sugar as well. So decided to make a Sakkarai Pongal with Samba Godumai, fine. The previous time when I had made a Sambar Godumai sweet Pongal, the Rava was a thicker version and I had used other spices as well. I kept it to a very simple version like the regular Sakkarai Pongal.

Today's version is made with a very fine Rava of Samba Godumai and along with Moong dal, channa dal. Other than nuts and ghee, this version is very simple and quick to make.

We have been having heavy rains since last night. We woke up to heavy rains and decided not to send the boys to school. Konda wanted to go as she had some tests and I think she wanted to enjoy the trip through the rain. I remembered my school days when I never used to miss even a day, even when it was raining cats and dogs.

It's been a tough task keeping the boys engaged. They ended up finding out their own games and have been on a rampant of different games. Well, that had our help going out of her wits. Anyway the unexpected off gave them many ideas.

Coming back to the dishes, I also made a simple sundal with Double beans. I remember Amma cooking so much with Double Beans. All her biryanis always had fresh double beans. Athamma remembered this and took a packet when we shopped.

Now that we have got different grains, flours, and lentils, you will be assaulted to different variations of these ingredients. What else will you say, when I ended up making Bansi Rava Kesari, Samba Goduma Sweet Pongal, and next on my list will have to be something different! Gosh, I have exhausted my ideas on twisting and turning the same ingredients into either Pongal or kesari..:) That's not to say this wasn't delicious. We really enjoyed the taste the rava gives.
