Ven Pongal
The best breakfast which is extremely healthy & easy for digestion.A very common Tamilian dish.When I think of this dish I can remember temples, where they will serve this as prasadham in a small bowl.There will be visitors who go to temple just to eat this.Its made on auspicious days in temple and at home.In villages the first harvesting takes place and this is the main food that is offered to god as a gracious gift by the farmers as a symbol of gratitude.When the freshly harvested rice is combined with the dal& ghee it just taste very divine.
