    Varagu Arisi Sakkarai Pongal Recipe - Millet Sweet Pongal Recipe with step wise pictures.

    Super delicious and healthy millets pongal which taste really yummy. An alternative for your regular pongal. Try this millet one for this pongal.

    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 ghee what 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 too. Will share it this week.
