Traditionally jaggery is commonly used to sweeten the pongal, however you can also use sugar to make it.

I didn't have any jaggery at home when I wanted to prepare the pongal for a festival day, so I decided to use white sugar.

I have also used only a pressure cooker to make this one, so it is kind of an easy one pot dish.

Traditionally, pongal is made in pots by allowing the dish to boil over the pot and that's how its made.

But for convenience we are making this sweet dish in pressure cooker now 🙂

Pongal recipe is made using white rice, moong dal and ghee as the primary ingredients, and you add the sweeteners like jaggery or sugar and also water or milk.

Once the pongal is made, it is very common to fry raisins and cashew nuts in ghee and add on top of the pongal in a decorative way.

I only used raisins in this recipe, but you can add the cashew nuts too which will make it more delicious.

So here is how you can make this sweet pongal with sugar and milk easily in a pressure cooker following this South Indian style recipe for sweet pongal with sugar.

      You can make without cashews too, I didn't use cashews in this recipe! If you have any other nuts like almonds or pistachios, you may slice and add that too, if you like it that way (to make the texture slightly crunchy) or simply skip the nuts like I did here. If you do not have raisins, you can skip that too. Thank you.
