Foxtail Millet Moong Sprouts Pongal

Friday, February 14, 2014

Been born and brought up in South India, pongal is one of the my most favourite breakfast before few years,but i cant eat this food now for my breakfast coz i completely lost the habit of having South Indian breakfast dishes. Blame the Pariss weather or my laziness, watever its been ages i stopped making pongal for our breakfast.If we crave for this beautiful dish, ill definitely make it for our dinner, obviously most of the South Indian breakfast dishes are now turned as our evening dinner.

Recently i tried this super healthy pongal with foxtail millet and sprouted whole green gram, i was bit skeptical about this combo and tried a small quantity. But for my surprise they turned out extremely delicious and i finished myself that small quantity of pongal. Again after two days, since i had some sprouted whole greem grams, i prepared again this pongal for my whole familly and served this nutritious dish with spicy coconut chuntey.Everyone at home just enjoyed thoroughly this healthy pongal for their dinner and really felt happy that i fed their favourite pongal with some healthy stuffs in it. Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#27.Sending  to my own event Healthy Diet - Cooking with Sprouts guest hosted by Roshni.
