Check out this version of sweet pongal in the Oriya Style. I had made this as part of an Oriyan meal few weeks back.

Ingredients -
Rice 1/2 cup
Moong Dal 1/4 cup
Salt couple of pinches
Sugar 1 Tbsp
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Nutmeg Powder a couple pinches
Seasoning (Ghee 2 tsp, Cinnamon 2 - 1 inch sticks, Cardamom 1, Raisins 2 Tbsp, Cashews 1 Tbsp)
Method Of Preparation -
In a heated pan, add ghee, and the rest of the seasoning ingredients.
After they are fried well, add the moong dal and rice and roast for a few minutes.
I cooked them in the pressure cooker and so I transferred the contents into a pressure cooker adding about 1 1/2 cups of water. Optionally it can be cooked on the stovetop.
Remove from the cooker, mix well and serve.

This looks simple and tasty!
There are so many variations of the khichadi. This sounds like a nice one.
Love this slightly sweet and savory khichdi.
Interesting one. Going by the title, I thought it was a sweeter version. Do you need any side dish to pair it with?
what a unique sweet preparation - would love to try
