Not even the fact that it lasts for four days ! <br /><br />But but but... ya I did know about decorations and rangoli, and pongal dish as back home i have some south India friends, who keep sharing about puja, preparations, pictures and food :D hehe ... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this Viji :)~ Lopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298537040908969550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9178326904452851842.post-51209887733238677482010-01-20T03:32:40.468-08:002010-01-20T03:32:40.468-08:00I got to know the whole pongal tradition last week...I got to know the whole pongal tradition last week from my in laws who are from Chennai, though none of us celebrate it..To me it seems similar to Diwali, because of the week long celebrations may be :) Being from north India myself, I have not got any first hand experience on pongal though diwali was something we looked forward to, again because of the holildays..<br />Thanks for the recipe, these days I am trying my hand at such lovely dishes, had made Dosa and Idli last week..It turned out to be good, my husband enjoyed the authentic south Indian taste :)<br />Here's wishing you a very happy pongal!!Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04578932092087387343noreply@blogger.com
