Pongal Greetings to one and all. At home also we had a small pongal.In this part of the world in Tamilnadu we call it as the harvest festival and lasts for 4 days , 1 st it is Bogi, 2nd day it is Surya pongal, 3 rd day it is Mattu pongal and 4 th day it is Ullavar or Trivalluvar day.

Fresh turmeric is tied to the pot.as the turmeric plant was not sufficient enough , I used a thread to tie the turmeric to the pot.
When the milk boils it will over flow and this is considered very auspicious
and finally the pongal - it is a sweet dish made of rice,milk and jaggery. cardamom is added for fragnance.cashewnuts and raisins are fried in ghee and added to this
