Aval Pongal | Aval Sakkarai Pongal | Aval sweet Pongal | poha Pongal | Aval inipu Pongal | poha sweet Pongal is a quick and tasty Indian sweet prepared  Aval and jaggery. Traditionally chakkarai Pongal is prepared with rice here is a version with poha. Indian dessert pudding with poha is a yummy way to finish leftover cooked dal. It can be prepared for  kannum Pongal/ mattu Pongal/ Ugadi and offered as naivedyam/prasad.

What kind of Flattened rice should I use for Pongal?

Always use thick flattened rice as it helps for perfect Pongal texture. Avoid thin poha. I have used white Aval but you can also use red; adjust the water accordingly. Washing the Aval in colander helps to drain excess water.

Can I use leftover cooked dal for Pongal?

Yes, you can use plain leftover dal for making Pongal but heat it first and add. Avoid adding thick dal as might turn lumpy. Make sure dal is warm and slightly runny.

Can I reduce Jaggery?

Yes, adjust the jaggery according to your taste. You can also use Karupatti, sugar, or sugar candy instead of jaggery.

Should I filter jaggery?

If jaggery has impurities prepare jaggery water, filter, and make Pongal.

Do I need this much ghee?

Ghee enhances Pongal flavor. You can adjust according to your taste.
