This is one of my favorite recepie. When I think about pongal,it always reminds me temple prasadam sarkkarai pongal,a very tasty sweet dish given in temple in banyan leaf. An authentic taste with a flavor of  cashew nuts,raisins,cardamom and ghee.Without any further delay I will share my recepie with you.
