Traditional South Indian Venn Pongal Recipe: A Savory Comfort Food Delight

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is a spicy rice and lentil Indian dish. In the south of India, you eat this to celebrate the harvest. It comes from a cookbook called Cook and See that I got on a trip to India. Very hard for most Americans to dicepher the instructions so I'm writing it out in a more user-friendly way.
