Sankranti 2021: Rava Pongal, A Healthy Alternative
The festival of Pongal is almost upon us. It is the biggest festival of Tamil Nadu and celebrated with much vigour. This harvest festival is based around the recipe of Pongal, a dish that is made mainly with rice. There are many types of Pongal, some are sweet and others are spicy or salty. But the Pongal recipe that we are making today is a little different; it is Rava Pongal.
All Pongal recipes are traditionally prepared with rice. However, Rava Pongal is a delicious and healthy alternative to rice. The rava used in the Pongal is both filling and nutritious. Rava Pongal is not starchy like rice and has complex carbohydrates. So if you are on a weight loss diet, then Rava Pongal is the best dish for you.
