This is one of my Favorite Sweet.But I totally forgot about this .During my college days I used to eat this Regularly.This is one of the famous prasadham in Chidambaram Natarajar Temple.I prepared this on new year.My husband & son Enjoyed this.I made small changes to the recipe.I used pinch of orange colour & Pacha karpooram (Borneo-Camphor). I just remove from heat & took these photos,so it looks Watery,once it turns cool,u will get perfect pongal.Here my recipe
