In south India, some genius of a cook ‘accidentally’ boiledrice and Moong dal together, to create the Pongal. This was such a hit that much later, around 200 BC, the ‘Indravizhya’ festival celebrated at Poombuhar came to be called ‘Pongal‘
Khara pongal is a savory porridge-like dish that is traditionally prepared in South India for the Makar Sankranti festival that heralds the arrival of summer. It is richly packed with protein, enzymes, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals and amino acids and has no cholesterol. Its good for cough and cold.
INGRIDIENTS: coarse spice mix made of roasted lentils like moong dal & rice. Tempered with whole red chilies, Channa dal, Urad dal, mustard seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, curry leaves ground cumin & black pepper
