Pongal O Pongal
Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated throughout Tamil Nadu. The traditional Pongal food is sweet pongal, made by boiling milk, adding rice and dahl, jaggery (sugar cane), ghee (clarified butter), rasins, cashews, cardamom. It seems like everybody I talked to has a different idea of how long pongal is supposed to last. I ended up celebrating for four days which resulted in my consuming of a lot of sweet pongal.

Esai and the CTS team put together a Pongal feast at work yesterday. LOTS of great food -- ate my share of biryani, curry, and pongal.
Hope all is well -- we all wish you the best!
