About Sakarai pongal

Sakkarai Pongal is a traditional South Indian sweet dish, commonly prepared during harvest festivals like Pongal. Made primarily from rice, moong dal (split yellow lentils), jaggery, ghee, and flavored with cardamom, cashews, and raisins, it is a cherished delicacy in Tamil cuisine. Rich in carbohydrates and energy, this dish provides warmth and nourishment, making it ideal for festival celebrations. Jaggery, a natural sweetener, brings essential minerals like iron and magnesium, while moong dal adds protein and dietary fiber. Ghee contributes to its creamy texture and enhances fat-soluble vitamin absorption, but its calorie density should be noted for moderation. Nuts and raisins offer healthy fats, antioxidants, and micronutrients, rounding out the dish's nutrient profile. Though indulgent and calorie-rich, Sakkarai Pongal is a festive treat enjoyed in balance as part of a wholesome diet.
