Sakkarai (Sweet) Pongal
K and I did not grow up celebrating the hindu festival Pongal, but we have eaten pongal in our homes probably because its a South Indian dish. There are two kinds - Sakkarai Pongal (Sweet pongal) and Ven Pongal (Savory). This is made for breakfast and even as a dessert. It is really easy to put together and I decided to make Sakkarai pongal after work while I waited for K to come home
