Paal Pongal Recipe

Paal Pongal / Milk Pongal – We make this along with sakkarai pongal and pongal kuzhambu . I personally prefer the sweet version but hubby likes this salt version more.

My Notes:

  • Don’t skip coconut here as its the only main ingredient that gives flavour to the pongal.
  • Any veggie gravy will get along with this very well, so when combined and had, no salt is required!

    Hello Sharmilee,

    thanks for stopping and for the sweet comments at my space.

    happy Pongal (belated wishes) to you and to your family!!! lovely decorated paanai-s you've got there;

    With the picture of the pongal almost "pongi-fying" (yes, the word exists in my vocabulary, hihhihhi), I have that irresistible urge to dip my fingers right inside to have a mouth of it :):)

    both the pongals look great; I did Pongal but yet to post it, I think I'll end up posting it only for next Pongal !!!

    Hai madam. You had mentioned totally 2 cups of milk to be added in step 1. Then again you had mentioned in step 2 to add remaining cups of milk. If so, totally how much cups of milk is needed for this recipe ? i.e in Step 2 how much amount of milk to be added ? I am going to try this recipe for first time 🙂 and also I am a beginner in cooking. Thanks a lot !! many recipes i had tried from your blog .. Its really good and helps me a lot ..
