In a pressure cooker, heat oil. Add cumin seeds and peppercorns. As they splutter, add finely chopped ginger, curry leaves and green chilly (cut in half). Fry for 30 secs.
Add 4 cups of water and add the required salt along with asafoetida. Let the water come to a boil. Add the moong dal + rava mixture into the boiling water.
Reduce the flame to medium and cook the Rava Pongal for 3 whistles. Let the pressure drop before opening the cooker lid. Mix well.
Serve hot with a dollop of ghee on top and with coconut chutney or sambar on the side.
Notes
I did not roast the rava before making the pongal as the pongal has to be a bit mushy.
Ginger and green chilli are optional especially if serving to kids. Ghee on top is optional but enhances the taste.
Serve hot and when the pongal is cooled down, it hardens. Reheat before serving again.
