Wish you all a very Happy New year 2016. I wanted to start the New year with a healthy recipe and so made this Thinai Ven pongal today and posting the same. Pongal is a staple South Indian breakfast. During my very short vacation to Chennai last week, i got organic thinai | foxtail millet. Both my brother in law and his wife , left their IT job and doing organic farming in a small village near Pondicherry. This foxtail millet is grown in their field and i got it from them freshly after few days of harvest. But due to weight constraints i couldn't carry much here to Singapore. I have already posted the recipe of
Ven pongal in the style which my mil makes it. But this Thinai ven pongal i have made it in my mom's style which is my most favorite too. Both my mom and mil are experts in making ven pongal. Try out this healthy Thinai ven pongal and start the day with a healthy breakfast. Check out my other
Millet recipes and i have published a
cook book on Millets in Tamil. Stay tuned for more interesting recipes coming up this year. Check out my
