Ven Pongal - Brown Rice Pongal
Pongal Recipe - Ven Pongal - Brown Rice Pongal - Khara Pongal -
Pongal the ceremonial first dish of the Tamizh harvest festival will make a chronic insomniac sleep like a Koala. Every household makes their own version of pongal. There are thousands of recipes out there, each claiming to be comforting and soothing in their own right. So, what makes our pongal recipe any different, you might ask? We will not sell it to you by quoting the same old “It is healthy and wholesome”, along with the standard blah blahs. We both are ardent and hardened pongal fans. We happily eat this dish at any time of the day. Over the years we have tasted countless versions of pongal through the length and breadth of Tamizhnadu and we have cooked many in our own style. This pongal recipe of ours, is not a flash in the pan or a recipe that we winged on the go. We took a while to perfect it and here we are with our very own tribute to our love and passion for pongal. Better this if you can. That is without killing the nativity and essence of the original.
A great pongal must be soft and gooey, yet should have the consistency to hold its shape. Slap a ladle full of ven pongal onto a plate. With the ladle’s belly carve a crater on top, fill it with coconut chutney or sambar. For us, there is absolutely nothing better than this. Wait! there is dosa. No! not really, Pongal still dominates.
Our pongal recipe will yield 4 servings, with 471 kilocalories in each.
