KHARA SHAVIGE PONGAL WITH GOJJU (SPICY VERMICELLI PONGAL)
Vermicelli cooked with a perfect blend of lentils and spices
Pongal is a dish made from the combination of rice, lentils and spices. Olden days this dish was usually made on the occasion of “PONGAL”, the season of harvest. As the festival started becoming popular, this dish started being prepared on a regular basis at homes for breakfasts.
Since most of them in my home doesn’t like to eat rice, we thought of an alternative and tried out with vermicelli, which came out at its best.
Every dish has a main course. Similarly to this, the best accompaniment is gojju (sweet and savoury sauce)
