Temporing chutney :

Method :
Rice

 Wash rice and lentils and boil them together in a pressure cooker generally with twice the amount of water as them. Add a pinch of turmeric and salt and cook.

In a pan, heat the oil. Add mustard seeds and other seasoning wait till they pop.

 Add curry leaves, chillies and crushed/uncrushed peppers as the mustard seeds are popping.

 Peppercorns (miriyalyu) are very important ingridient in this particular dish. It gives that unique taste and flavor. I like whole peppercorns instead of crushed because its my wish whether to eat or leave them

 Add this popu/tadka to the rice and mix well. Thats it its ready.

 Serve hot with pickle or cocunut chutney.Generally i do with this ginger-tammarind chutney will go..

This is dry(rice podi ga untundi)method of kattu pongali unlike hot pongal(wet).

Serve hot hot rice with ginger tamamrind chutney..
