Iniya Pongal Nalvazhthukkal!
Sankaranthi Subhakanchalu :)

The beautiful harvest festival is celebrated in a grand manner all round south India.
As ever our house was filled with festivity too :)


As ever our house was filled with festivity too :)

Starting from a thematic kolam in the entrance by me, making of chakkara pongal, paal pongal and pongal kozhambu followed. It is considered auspicious to let the milk over flow and this is when all of us would start saying pongalo pongal :) Finally a small pooja to god was done by mom. :)

I have put down the recipe for Chakkara pongal and Paal pongal along with a lot of details about the festival last year. Check out the post here. :)
Along with the two types of pongal we also make this kozhambu specifically on this day.
This pongal Kozhambu goes really well with paal pongal and is one of the best combination ever.
