Ven pongal is one of the popular breakfast items in Tamil Nadu. Normally raw rice is used for preparing pongal but here I tried wheat rava / samba rava / cracked wheat. It was delicious than normal pongal. Try it out and you will really enjoy the new taste. I have already posted rava pongal, oats pongal and seeraga samba ven pongal.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup - Samba rava / wheat rava / cracked wheat
- 1/2 cup - Split green gram / paasi paruppu / moong dal
- 2 nos - Garlic (chopped)
- 2 tsp - Ginger (chopped)
- 3 cups - Water

Preparation method:
- Wash and soak moong dal for at least ½ hour, set it aside. Wash wheat rava in water 1 or 2 times.
- Pressure cook wheat rava and moong dal along with chopped garlic, ginger and salt in 3 cups of water for up to 2 or 3 whistle or until well cooked. Keep it aside.
