Pongal



Today is Pongal festival. It is the only Hindu festival that follows a solar calendar and usually falls on the 14th or 15th of January. It signals the end of the traditional farming season in South India. As a result I made my way to Little India after work and headed to Campbell Road to see the cows and to taste the pongal (sweetrice) which also is one of my favourite indian food. I wanted to find a restaurant to enjoy the treat but there was actually a free street distribution. I therefore seized this opportunity to have my share!
