"Pongal" is harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu, southern state of India.
On the day of festival, traditionally we make sweet pongal / Sakkarai Pongal, a sweet dish using rice, moong dhal, jaggery and ghee which is given as offerings to the Sun god. It taste delicious and divine!
Though traditionally, my mom used to prepare it in a pot, here I have given an easy method using pressure cooker!
