  Hi!
  
  I will write recipie for some which I know;
  
  Sakkrai Pongal:
  
  Cook Rice with minimum qunatity of water if you like teh rice particles separate of with excess water if yu like them sticky. Use appropriate rice - Basmati for separate rice or Thai jasmine rice for sticky Pongal.
  
  Meanwhile for every 1 cup of rice take 1/3 cup of powered jagrey and make a syrup my boiling in very small quantity of water until it becomes a sticky syrup. You can add coconut and cardomam if you like to the Jaggrey syrup.
  
  To teh cooked rice add appropriate food coloring if you prefer and then add milk to make it a little loose and slushy. Add teh hot Jaggrey syrup to this mixture - this will thicken the slushy Rice / Milk mixture.
  
  In a separate pan garnish cashews and raisins in Butter or Ghee. Add this to the Pongal and add safforn if you like.
  
  Enjoy this dish.
  
  Rava Ladu:
  
  you need 1 part of sugar for 1 part of rava adn 1/3 part of Ghee / buter, and broken pieces of cashew, raisins, ground cardomam etc.
  
  Roast the rava until it turns brown. Let it cool on a flat plate.
  
  Melt teh butter, and add the cashews, raisins and cardomam. Meanwhile to the cooling Rava add the Sugar (you can powder it if it is not fine) and mix thoroghly. Add teh melted Ghee and condimens to the Rava sugar mix and startign making it into Laddus while hot.
  
  Upon cooling when teh buter becoem ssolid, this will form nice firm laddus.
  
  Enjoy.
  
  PS: You can make Moong Dal Laddu - the same way with finely ground Moong Dal - Use slightly more butter since Moong or any other Dal powders absorb butter more and if you dont use - you may choke on the Dal Powder.
  
  I dotn know how to make Athirasam and Murruku - so Apologize.
  
  You can make a Simple Kanchi out of Moong Dal too:
  
  Cook Moong Daal in Presseure cooker until it cooks into a fine paste.
  
  In a separate pan make a sugar syrup or Jaggrey syrup - depending on your taste. Add the finely cooked Moong Dal Paste and its ready to eat. YOU can garnish it with Rasins, saffron cardomam, cashew etc. Youcan also add milk to this to make it creamier.
  
  Enjoy these recipies...

  Can make Asoka sweet with moong dhal. Soak dhal for few hrs and grind well. In a pan, add dhal, sugar, stir well and when it is done dissolving, add ghee, food color(orange), cardamom and nuts for garnishing. Wait till it is thick. It is simple, but very tasty.
  
  If u want, u can add either maida or wheat flour(little) with the dhal while stirring.

  Sorry, a mistake, you have to boil the dhal, not grinding.
  
  thanks for understanding...
