Khara Pongal
Khara Pongal or Ven Pongal or Uppu Pongal is the simplest breakfast recipe. We call it as Katte Pongal or Uppu Pongal. When we have function in the house with so many guests and we have to make something rich breakfast, pongal is the best one comes to our mind.  Pongal served with nice spicy coconut chutney and sambar, we are just within an inch of heaven. 
We should not skip breakfast when we go to any South Indain marriage wherein pongal and vada are the must served breakfast dishes. The most important part of it is we should not think about calories. As it takes lot of ghee and oil. The heavenly taste comes only when we add enough ghee and oil to it. 
Pongal is mainly made with rice and moongdal or greengram. It is mild in taste and tummy friendly dish. When we do Shankhaprakshalana asanas, the prescribed diet for that day is pongal with less ghee and oil.
