2. Yellow split Moong Dhal                 1 cup
3. Pepper Jeera granules                    2 tsp
4. Ghee                                                1 tbsn
5.Oil                                                     1 Tbsn

8. Salt to Taste
9.Turmeric powder                              1/2 tsp

Method:
1. Wash broken wheat and dhal together thoroughly and drain.
2. Pour 4 cups of water in it and allow it to soak for 1 hour.
3. Add turmeric powder and pressure cook it with the same water till 4 or 5 whistles. 
4.Allow it to cool and open the cooker.
5.Mash the pongal while it is hot.Have it in my mind that broken wheat will not mash so thoroughly like white rice pongal.It will be a little coarse to look at, but  soft to eat.
6. Season cashew, pepper jeera granules and curry leaves in ghee and add to the pongal.
7.Add required salt and one tbsn of raw oil to make the pongal loose and soft.
8. Serve it hot with sambar or tomato chutney.
