PONGAL REQUIREMENTS

The most important part of the Pongal festival is cooking the Pongal dish.A sweet version of pongal called Sakkarai pongal is made with rice mixed with moong dal and cooked with ghee, cashew nuts, raisins adding jaggery (a type of unrefined sugar).A spicy pongal called Ven pongal/Ghee pongal is also prepared adding lots of ghee and spices like pepper & cumin.Traditionally, pongal is cooked in clay pots, on stoves made with stones and wood used as fuel.
