Oats Sakarai Pongal

Hi friends, Happy pongal! Pongal is one of the famous festivals celebrated in southern India. Mainly in Tamil Nadu, we use to celebrate this for three days, First day is Makara sankranthi which is last day of tamil month maargazhi and this is celebrated all over India as winter harvest. Second day will be Pongal, which is first day of tamil month Thai. Third day will be Mattu Pongal. This is a thanksgiving festival for sun and gomatha (cow) for good harvest.

Coming to today’s recipe first I need to thank priya for cooking with oats event. For a longtime oats was sitting in my pantry as a pongal special tried oats pongal and it turned out good.
