Preparation:

• Heat and melt the jaggery in a pan with little amount of water and let it dissolve completely.
• Roast all the nuts and raisins using 1 tbsp ghee.

Method :

• Take a big vessel on stove. Pour the rice-dal mixture, milk and let it boil. 
• Filter the jaggery water in the vessel and stir constantly. Filtering is must because jaggery has some sand particles in it. 
• Stir the mixture continuously and add cardamom, coco powder and ghee. 
• When you get the right consistency, finish it off by topping roasted nuts and give it a last mix.
• Put some ghee on top of the pongal and leave it to rest. 
• If you need more sweet add some honey. 

Wish you All Happy Sweet Pongal :-)
