For my daughter I try to cook something different everyday so that she loves to have food. Like all the other kids she is very choosy about her food. Most of us like to give our kids Rice at least one time of a day like rice dal and curry or some time just a simple rice preparation. My daughter likes rice, so something different with rice is something new to her so she enjoys a lot. One of a very famous Rice preparation of South India especially Tamilnadu is Pongal. A simple rice and dal combo which is flavored with lots of ghee and cashew nuts and served with sambar. But I love to have pongal alone. PONGAL is Tamilnadu’s harvest festival which is coincided with MAKAR SANKRANTI.
The best part of this dish is the smell of ghee, fried cashew nuts and black pepper which make you hungry. My daughter just loves it so I can say this one is really good for small kids, a very simple and easy recipe for all of you.

1.Raw Rice: 1 cup.
2.Split Moong Dal: ¼ cup.
3.Water:4 cup.
4.Crushed ginger: ½ tea spoon.
5.Hing or asafetida: a pinch off.

To temper:
1.Cashew nute: 15 to 20 pieces (split).
2.Few curry leaves.
