    January 10, 2017 By Anlet Prince 6 Comments

    Sweet Rava Pongal / Sooji Sakkarai Pongal. A simple and easy pongal. A Simple Variation from the regular Sakkarai(sweet) Pongal made with raw rice. This is even more easier to prepare and consumes very little time than the Sakkarai(Sweet) Pongal made using rice. Coconut milk and jaggery are the main ingredients that give in that awesome taste. Jaggery and Coconut Milk Combined gives out an unique and awesome taste. Rava pongal has the goodness of both jaggery and coconut milk. Rock Candy/ Kalkandu Pongal, Aval Sakkarai Pongal and Sweet Wheat Pongal / Wheat Sakkarai Pongal are other sweet pongal recipes found in this space. Traditonal Sakkarai Pongal is made during the festival day of pongal. Otherwise these pongal recipes can be made as an after meal dessert. They can also be served as a any time snack.
