I like Jaggery based sweets. My husband likes Kesari. I have tasted this Rava pongal at my friend place. I liked it. I was pretty sure it will go well with my family. So yes yes you are right I asked this recipe from my friends and it is very similar to Wheat Rava jaggery kesari. With the addition of moong dal the taste of this pongal is even better. Do try out .. you can even serve this as dessert. Happy Varalakshmi Pooja for you!
