Sugarcane Juice Pongal (Cheruku Rasam Pongali in Telugu and Karumbu Chaaru Pongal in Tamizh) is a version of Sweet Pongal in which Sugarcane Juice is used as the sweetner. The taste is quite unique and surprises many who taste it. :)
Roast the Moong Dal till it starts to change colour.
Wash the rice well and drain all the water.
Add the roasted moong dal and Sugarcane Juice to rice.
Pressure cook the rice-dal-juice mix for 1 whistle and then on medium heat for 10 minutes. You can also pressure cook for 4 to 5 whistles.
Let the pressure cooker cool and bit and then remove the cooked mix from it.
Using a heavy ladle, mix the cooked rice-dal well so that the dal gets mashed.
Add the edible camphor and mix well.
In a ladle, heat the ghee, and fry the cashews till they start to change colour.
Add the ghee and cashews to the Sugarcane Juice Pongal.
Serve warm.
Notes
The Sugarcane Juice Pongal is just borderline sweet; so if you are a person with a sweet tooth or needs more sweetness, add 2-3 tbsp sugar while the Pongali is hot and mix well.
