Kuthiraivali Pongal Recipe

September 17, 2013 By Priya Shiva 2 Comments

Print Recipe
Kuthiraivali Pongal is a delicious and healthy breakfast option made with barnyard millet, lentil and mild spices. Barnyard millet is high in fibre and rich in minerals. This is a recipe from my mother in-law  who makes Venpongal using this millet and it actually tastes even better than the usual pongal which we make with raw rice.
Serve it with some Carrot sambar, Coconut chutney.
So, sharing a healthy recipe and hope you all try it out and enjoy!
