Begin by washing the rice and moong dal in water. In a pressure cooker add the rice and moong dal, add the cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water. Cook for 4 whistles or more because you want the rice and lentils to get all mushy

While it is cooking. Heat some ghee and roast the cashews and raisins. Set aside when it is golden brown

Once its cooked, add the grated jaggery and cardamom powder and mix. If the pongal is thick add some boiled milk. If its too watery, leave the cooker on the stove and allow it to thicken until you reach the desired consistency

Add the raisins + cashews ghee mixture to the pongal and give it a good stir

Serve warm!
