Milagu Pongal or Ven Pongal (Khara Pongal) or Ghee Pongal is one of the Aishu’s fav breakfast. She always loves the kovil style pongal,especially nanganallur anjaneyar temple prasatham. Normally we used to add whole Milagu and cumin seeds in ven pongal but this style contains coarsely grounded pepper and cumin powder. The flavour of the pepper and cumin makes the pongal smells divine.Do give a try this way while you make pongal.

I am very new to your blog but I see you have a great collection of yummy recipes. Don’t feel bad if I am trying to give small tips from my side.
I wish you add one more important info in making this Ven Pongal even more delicious. Just lightly dry fry the Moong dal till the raw smell leaves and then wash Moong Dal and Rice together and cook. This will even taste more delicious than the way you mentioned.
