Sakkarai Pongal is a traditional sweet which can be made in South Indian homes. Traditional Sakkarai pongal,can be make in an earthen pot or vengala panai (Tamil) on the Pongal festival. We use to keep 2 vengala panai on stove one is for milk Pongal (Paal Pongal ) and the other one is for sakkarai Pongal (sweet Pongal). It’s really very tasty if we make Pongal is made in panai than in pressure cooker only thing is that panai takes more time than a pressure cooker. Simply we need patients that’s it.If you want to know the Procedure for the Pongal Festival Check this Complete guide for Pongal Festival
