Ven pongal is most popular South-Indian breakfast recipe that's usually served with chutneys and sambar. And today, I made this using the millet which makes it more healthier especially for Diabetic patients & for weight loss. We can use little millet (samai) / Foxtail millet (thinai) / Barnyard millet (kudhiraivalli) instead of Kodo millet (varagu) in this preparation. Enjoy this simple & healthy pongal with chutney & sambar.
