Sweet Pongal, also known as Sakkarai Pongal, is a popular dessert made during the Pongal festival in South India. It is made with rice, moong dal, jaggery (unrefined cane sugar), ghee, and flavored with cardamom and cashews. The rice and lentils are cooked until soft and then mixed with jaggery syrup and ghee. The sweet pongal is garnished with roasted cashews and cardamom powder. It is a rich and sweet dish that is often offered as a prasadam (offering) to deities during festivals. Sweet Pongal is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.
