Chettinad White Rice Pongal / How to make Pongal Sadham
In chettinad we make two types of pongal, one is white rice pongal and the other is sakkarai pongal on Thai pongal day. In olden days we made it in the earthern stove with earthern pots. In 80's we made it in the iron stove with vengala (brass) uruli. Now we make it in the gas stove with steel or vengala uruli.
Then we make pongal festival veggies and offer to the lord sun and eat. The next day we make mattu pongal and give the pongal to cow. Nowadays no cow is there so we only eat that pongal also.
