    I stopped making it in pressure cooker hma. The reason was, when the whistle goes, the water spills out as we put too much water for pongal. I just use the rice to water ratio as 1:6 and make it in a wide mouth dish with a lid. Its a lot more time consuming but its not bad at all. Other wise, the procedure which was given in this thread works for me, just make the ratio 1:6 and make in a wide dish pan.
