Pulgam Prasadam (First day Prasadam on Navratri)
Today being the first day of navratri, I worshipped Goddesses Durga and read Lalitha Sahasthranamam, Devi kadgamala Strotram, Durga Apadudharakha Strotram with kumkum pooja and kept pulgam as Naivedyam. I kept the goddesses Lalitha Devi with Sri Chakra on a special rangoli which I learnt from my grand mother. This Special Rangoli is called as “Lakshmi HrudayaKamalam”, and this is one of the favourite ones for goddesses Lakshmi. So here goes the recipe for pulgam:
Ingredients:
- Basmati Rice / Sona masoori – 1 cup
- Yellow moong dal -1 tbsp
- Jeera – 2 tsp
- Salt as per taste
- Water – 11/2 cup
Method:
- Wash and drain the water from the rice
- Wash and drain the water from the moong dal and add the moong dal to the rice and now add the water to this mix.
- Heat the vessel and add the above mix of rice and moong dal until cooked.
- Add Jeera and salt while the rice is boiling up and cover it with a lid and cook till rice with moong dal gets cooked (approximately for 10 min in a medium heat ).
- Turn off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
- Add little sugar or a piece of jaggery (bellam) before offering to god as prasadam.
