- Pongal is a very popular and a wholesome South Indian breakfast, traditionally prepared with rice and moong dal (split green gram). It is an extremely easy preparation that is usually relished with coconut chutney and / or sambar. So give a healthy twist to the usual pongal by substituting it with brown rice and enjoy it guilt free.
