    Varagu Arisi Pongal

    Kodo millet | varagu Arisi Pongal recipe with step by step photos. Kodo millet is called as Varagu Arisi in Tamil, Kodra in Hindi, and Arikelu in Telugu. It is so healthy as it is gluten-free and rich in fiber. Recently my hubby started dieting and he wanted me to include a lot of Millets and healthy grains in his Food. So I decided to give a try to a few Millet Recipes.

    I usually prepare Pongal only on Weekends as it has to be accompanied by Chutney, Sambar and Vadai . Hence I prefer it for Weekend brunch. So for this Blogging Marathon when I selected the theme as Weekend breakfast I decided to try Millet Pongal. Now let see how to prepare Varagu Arisi Ven Pongal

    Other Pongal Recipes which I have already posted in blog are Ven Pongal/White Pongal ,Kalkandu Pongal | sugar Candy Pongal ,Sakkarai Pongal
