JAMMY/COOKWITHJAMMY/VEN PONGAL

Ven pongal- Pongal is a popular south indian breakfast. There are mainly 2 types of pongal, ven pongal and sweetpongal. Usually we make sweet pongal for festive or religious occasions. Ven pongal is also known as khara pongal. Most of them have pongal for breakfast, but in my house we prefer for lunch. Sambar and coconut chutney is a very good combination for ven pongal.
