I wanted to post a recipe that could be made as an offering to the deities.So I asked mom and she told me that ven pongal is one among the offerings and I decided to go ahead with it as it is also very easy.I started making this very often as its very tasty, healthy and easy to prepare in minutes when I get up very late in the morning. Having started knowing the benefits of millets, the first recipe I tried with this millet is this and it turned out very well.This Samai /Little millet tastes similar to rice and you cant find any difference that this pongal ismade out fo millet.
