Ven Pongal
VenPongal is a Semi Solid dish Usually prepared with Rice and Moong Dal.It is a Common and Popular Breakfast in Tamilnadu.Generally it is Served with Coconut Chutney and Sambhar.But in our side(Chidambaram)we usually Served with Eggplant Ghostu.MeduVada is an Excellent Combination for pongal.It Served as a Special Dish on Occasions like Wedding and also Prasadham during Margazhi Poojas.I Never liked Pongal in my Childhood.
It has been a challenge for my Mother to Make me to eat Pongal.After Marriage only i started to try this dish.Reasons are this can be done Quickly and easily and this is one of My husband's All Time Favorite dish.There are two methods you can prepare this dish,Seasoning After Cooking Rice and Dal and another is Reverse one.I like the Second method only.Because you will get Full flavour in second method.I am sending this one to Priya's RCI-Kongunadu Vegetarian Cuisine.
