Melagu Pongal is a savory South Indian dish made from rice and split yellow moong dal, seasoned with a delightful blend of black pepper, cumin seeds, ginger, and ghee. Originating from Tamil Nadu, this comforting dish is often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions. Packed with protein and fiber from the dal, it offers a nutritious option for a hearty meal. While traditionally enriched with ghee, you can customize it with healthier fats or skip the ghee for a lighter version. A warm bowl of Melagu Pongal not only tantalizes your taste buds but also nourishes your body.
