Ven Pongal How To make South Indian Style Pongal Recipe

Ven Pongal is one of the south Indian delicacies served for breakfast. This just melts inside our mouth with the smell of ghee. This is always accompanied by Ulundhu Vadai. This goes well with Sambar and any chutney of your choice. I love making this on a lazy day with just coconut chutney only. Its such an easy to prepare dish.
