The common dish often seen at a South Indian breakfast is Pongal - a savory pudding made with beautiful combination of lentils and rice tempered with spices and nuts sauteed in Ghee.It is very easy and comfort food and best option to be served for guests.My hubby is big fan for this.Best served with sambar and coconut chutney.
