RICE TO DAL RATIO FOR ghee PONGAL RECIPE

Every family has its own ratio of Rice and dal for Pongal. For our homestyle Pongal, I generally use 2:1 but for temple-style milagu Pongal I would recommend a 4:1 ratio of rice and dal. I used some masoori rice but you can also use raw rice

DO I NEED THIS MUCH WATER FOR THE ven PONGAL?

The amount of water totally depends on the variety of rice you use and also the consistency you prefer.  adjust water accordingly.

DO I NEED THIS MUCH ghee FOR PONGAL?

Yes if you need temple milagu Pongal, add 1:1/2 rice and ghee. It gives amazing flavor to the Pongal. For vegan khara Pongal, you can add vegan butter but the flavor might vary.

Yes, you can use butter. For vegan Pongal, replace ghee with oil or vegan butter.
