Milllet Pongal- Little Millet Pongal - Chama Pongal

Millet Pongal can be prepared using various types of millets, such as foxtail millet, little millet, barnyard millet, or kodo millet. We have used little millet in this recipe. Each variety of millet adds a distinct flavor and texture to the dish. Additionally, variations in the tempering ingredients, such as adding green chilies, grated coconut, or different types of nuts, can give the dish a unique twist.
Pongal, traditionally made with rice and moong dal, is a staple breakfast in many South Indian households. However, substituting rice with millet not only enhances the nutritional value but also adds a unique texture and flavor to the dish. Millets, known for their high fiber content and rich nutritional profile, make this version of Pongal a perfect choice for health-conscious individuals
