Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvgerecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is Chakkara Pongali or sakkarai pongal. Chakkara means sweet, pongal is rice porridge. So it is basically porridge made with rice, lentils and sweet like jaggery or sugar. Some people make chakkara pongali with sugar and some with jaggery. Sometimes we can made with both sugar and jaggery. This time I made with sugar. We have sakkara pongali made with jaggery in the website.
