Ven Pongal
Pongal, in Tamil, means boil over. Venn means white. So Venn Pongal is the white rice that was traditionally prepared in clay pots with the rice cooked till it boiled over the pots. Also known as Kichdi, this is the ultimate comfort dish. In South India, Pongal is made on the harvest festival to celebrate prosperity and abundance. The rice used in this dish is not the Basmati rice, but its shorter, stickier cousin, Sona Masoori. Pongal by itself is relatively bland, so it needs to be paired with something spicy and tangy.
Method
Method of making Ven Pongal :
Wash and drain the dal and rice together.
