Rice Pongal Tamil Cuisine Recipe MY RATING - 9.9/10 I explained Huggi, which is a Kannada variation of the North Indian Khichdi. Now, I give you the Tamilian variety which is very famously known as PONGAL .Perhaps the most important dish for the Tamilians, since they celebrate their harvest festival of Pongal with this very dish. Nutrional values go far above any other dish and is recommended for all ages and sexes!
