Well i was browsing the net to get prepared a sweet dish.When i saw the superb pics of the sweet pongal in your website its relay mouth watering. 15 years back when i used to go to temples at times i couldn't make my mind if i am going for Nivedyam or for Darshan! I could feel the same fragrance when i saw the pics here. Thanks a lot. I wish this thread to continue for a long time. Hello Indira garu,
