Venn Pongal is a eaten as a breakfast item in Tamilnadu. The rice & moon dhal cooked in ghee tastes awesome with coconut chutney. This is very easy to prepare, trust me no one dislikes this pongal. The best combo for this is Medhu Vadai with Coconut Chutney.
This is some what similar to the way we prepare chicken kuzhambu at kongunadu houses. We don’t add star anise, black stone flower. I added those to get the extra aroma which suites well for idili and dosa. Preparing this with the whole chicken gives an extra ordinary taste. Chicken thighs or breasts can also be substituted but will get the taste little closer to the original.
A simple flavorful Kulambu to be accompanied with white rice. Potato roast or vadam is the best combo according to me.
