Now add the moong dal and fry till light golden in colour.  Remove the roasted moong dal to the same plate. Mix them and add them to the same pressure cooker. Add 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt.  Close the pressure cooker with its lid and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles. Meanwhile add 1/4 cup of water and 3/4 cup of jaggery in a separate vessel and bring it to a boil. Then switch off the flame. Once the pressure is cooled down, open the cooker and mix the cooked wheat rava and moong dal.  Add 1 tablespoon of ghee and give a good mix. Add the jaggery syrup directly to the cooked rava and moong dal, through a strainer to remove the impurities if any. Cook on a low flame till it blends with the jaggery syrup and it becomes thick.  Add another 1 tablespoon of ghee and mix well. Lastly add cardamom powder and fried nuts and raisins.  Combine everything well.  Switch off the flame. Delicious and healthy sweet pongal is ready to be served. NOTES/TIPS Adjust the jaggery according the sweet taste required by you. You can add cloves to enhance the flavor. Add jaggery syrup after the wheat rava is fully cooked. It stays well for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
