Millet Pongal Recipe

This is my latest favourite recipe. I love pongal a lot. I make it quite often too. Since hubby and me don't eat rice these days, i used thinai for making this and it was like super hit. I never missed rice in this. It tasted really yummy.

I served this with my all time favourite  pumpkin sambar. It was so delicious. You can have it with coconut chutney or tomato chutney as well.
