Ven Pongal
Ven pongal the most famous Tiffin variety. Vadai, sambar and chutney is the most ideal to serve along with ven pongal. This has been the favorite breakfast for my father and my husband especially on a weekend holiday morning. This recipe is a diet conscious recipe as only little ghee is required to make pongal
