Kodo millet sweet pongal – Varagu sweet pongal – Varagu sakkarai pongal – Simple Pooja recipes – Simple Festivals recipe – Simple naivedyam recipes – Varalakshmi Vratham recipe

Last trip to India when I attended some function they served sakkarai pongal but it tasted very different. I asked for recipe. Both sugar and jaggery were used in the recipe in 50:50 ratio. It tasted really nice. Even though I have posted Millet based sakkarai pongal I still want to post this using both sugar and jaggery in same recipe. Normally I use either one not both in single recipe.
