      Looks good and am sure will taste good as well. Just a quick input. I guess you should avoid Ulutham Paruppu and kadala paruppu in tempering. Traditionally, pongal is not tempered with these two, rest of the items in your list are perfectly suitable. It might lead the dish towards Rava upma (minus onion) instead of in the Pongal spectrum. This is my personal thought.
