If you can say a classic signature breakfast dish you can't leave out Ven pongal.In my house whenever we go out visiting our familly diety at Kumbakonam in Tamil Nadu we make sure to order ven pongal at a restuarant there.I like the traditional banana leaf in which it is served and it is also scientifically proven that when any food is served hot in a banana leaf, we also end up eating the folic acid present in the leaf along with the food.Dual benefits?Yeah. Whenever i make pongal at home,i make it mostly for breakfast.It is very filling and...
