Samba Wheat Sakkarai Pongal recipe| Wheat Rava Sweet Pongal. Pongal festival is around the corner, and I have a collection of Pongal festival recipes in Jeyashri’s Kitchen. A few days ago, while cleaning my bookshelf, I came across an old Aval Kitchen book from Jan 2015, where my picture of Sakkarai Pongal was on the cover. When I opened the book, I found a collection of Pongal recipes by Madam Menu Rani Chellam, and this samba wheat sakkarai pongal was included. I wanted to try this for the Pongal festival 2018. You can make this for Navaratri, Aadi Velli Neivedyam, Thai Velli Neivedyam, and any other festivals too.
