About Ven pongal
Ven Pongal is a savory South Indian dish that's popular as a breakfast or comfort food. Originating from Tamil Nadu, it consists of rice and split green gram (moong dal) cooked together with ghee, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, ginger, cashews, and curry leaves for a flavorful and aromatic meal. It is often paired with coconut chutney or sambar. Ven Pongal is rich in protein from the moong dal, which supports muscle repair and growth, while the combination of rice provides energy through complex carbohydrates. The spices, such as ginger and black pepper, contribute antioxidants and aid digestion. However, the dish is dense in calories due to ghee and cashews, making portion control important for those monitoring fat intake. Its simple ingredients and balanced flavors make it a hearty and nourishing choice that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a wholesome diet.
