For the Day 6 of Navaratri Pooja, I made a pongal with Rava - Rava Pongal and Broken wheat Payasam.
Rava Pongal Recipe was the most simplest one you can get to make when you are pressed for time. Mondays are always pressed for time, we have few other things happening, plus the fact that you are still lazy with the aftereffects of Sunday. Kids have their school off this whole week. So they were so busy with their games, running around crazy.

Coming to the recipes for today, here's another interesting Pongal Recipe, made with Rava / Semolina. This is exactly the same way I made the Ven Pongal with crushed peppercorns. This version of pongal also turns out delicious, on top of being very quick to get done. The total cooking time is as it only takes about 15 - 20 mins of cooking time. You don't have to soak anything here.

The sweet prasadam for the day was made with broken wheat along with Jaggery and coconut milk. Since I was short of time, I used the coconut paste I had on hand. Else this can be made with extracted coconut milk.
