Hi
I tried this wheat rava sweet pongal and it came out well. But I feel that it was not with different taste or to say, I could not get the flavour of wheat eventhough I fried it well. Any tips?
Hi Jayanthi,
If you want more wheat rawa flavour, then reduce the quantity of jaggery.
Thank you mam.
Can we buy Wheat Rava, does this comes in a packet or can tell me the seperate proportionate of wheat and rava
Wheat rawa (coarsely ground wheat) is sold in packets. I am not sure about your question of proportion of wheat and rawa
Madam
All your receipes are very good & well detailed. It helps even for a novice like me to try at cooking.
Can I follow the same method to prepare Sarkarai Pongal (using rice, which is prepared in Perumal temples)? What is green gram dhal? Is this same as Yellow gram dhal (paasi paruppu)?
Yes. You can follow the same method of preparing sarkarai pongal. Green gram dhal is yellow gram dhal (Pasi Paruppu).
Fantastic recipe. I could eat that whole day. Simple yet rich taste.
