Kuttu loves pongal and so these days i make only millet pongal and not the regular rice one. Venpongal, most famous south-indian breakfast, made even more healthy with this humble but something to the level ofsuperfood Varagu Arisi/Kodo Millet
I love millets and interested to make new dishes with the small magical grains… We used to buy all millets except pani varagu (proso millet), which was not available in the grocery stores where we buy our usual stuffs… Last week, I and dad went to buy brown rice, and then only I noticed the pani varagu, which looks similar to varagu but its in yellow color
raw rice with varagu arisi and make a tasty and healthy breakfast. common South Indian Breakfast made with raw rice and moong dal and tempered with green chillies, ginger,
Kalkandu pongal / kalkandu sadham with Varagu arisi / Varagurice / Kodo millet, is a sweet pongal prepared with Varagu arisi, kalkandu / sweet candy, and milk
Millet recipes are very healthy and this Varagu Arisi Ven Pongal is alternate for Raw ricePongal. The measurement of water should be measured in rice measuring tumbler only
I have earlier shared different variations of Pongal like the Sigappu Arisi Pongal , Ven Pongal, Rava Pongal, Dhaniya Pongal, Pongal Fried Rice, Moonu Raja Pongal, Oats Pongal , Varagu Arisi Pongal recipes with you all
You can replace samai with kodo millet (varagu), barnyard millet (kuthiravaali) etc. I did try this samai ricepongal for the first time and it tasted as good as our regular sakkarai pongal
But most of us are not sure about how to cook millet in a fluffy way like rice, pulao, biryani or for making Indian style recipes like Pongal, porridge, koozh with a mushy texture
