Since pongal is around the corner, i was thinking what new pongal to make for this year. I had little kodo millet sitting in the pantry for quite sometime. So used that to make this sweet pongal and it tasted delicious. The taste is very close to sarkarai pongal but it is very easy to make.

I also took half of the cooked millet mix and made chocolate pongal which was very different. But for a change lets make chocolate pongal this year.
