godhuma rava sweet pongal /broken/cracked wheat rava pongal

This month is “the” festive season for pongal,it’s a four-day festival of real celebrations, each day has its own importance which all may be knowing and it needs no explanation. This pongal festival is an apt period to try various types of pongal. For sweet versions although the usual pongal varieties may be ever precious and authentic.This broken wheat sweet pongal is quite different from traditional pongal that we do during this time.You will not perceive the exact taste till you relish this godhuma rava sweet pongal. This time I thought of trying my hand on a different variation of sweet pongal as I have already have kalkandu pongal,sakkarai pongal on my blog.The little nutty bits of well cooked rava has become the favourite of mine now. After tasting this godhuma rava sweet I felt pressure cooking the wheat rava is better as my wheat was quite bigger and cooks quite thoroughly.
