Pongal, also known as pongali or huggi, is an Indian rice dish. In Tamil, "pongal" means "boil" or "bubbling up". The two varieties of pongal are chakarai pongal, which is sweet, and venn pongal, which is savoury and made with clarified butter. Pongal generally refers to the savoury venn pongal and is sometimes served for breakfast with vada and chutney. Chakarai pongal is typically made during the Pongal festival.
