Happy Sankranti this is the festival of first harvest. We prepare pongal a lentil dish for the occasion. I have done Ven pongal which is rice & lentil cooked and tempered with spices.
For the sweet I have made Millet pongal. Millet & lentil cooked with jaggery & milk
Make healthy gluten free pongal for any occasion using any millet, I have used kudo Millet to make this super easy kheer
Millets are traditionally important grains,Millets are gaining popularity these days because of their health benefits like high fiber content, gluten free and rich nutritional content. So replace your Rice with Millets & make all the dishes healthy & low calorie
