Notes
- Finally the Pongal can also be topped up with extra 2 table spoon of ghee.
- Edible Champor does not dissolve easily. So add it to the jaggery water dissolve it and then add it to the wheat mixture. I have missed this so added it directly into wheat.
- Edible Camphor can be replaced with Cardamom.
- Pongal is thick in consistency so adjust the consistency accordingly. If its watery keep cooking for some more time wntil the water disappears.
