Sabudana pongal | Sago pongal | Javarisi pongal- Ven pongal recipe using sago | javarisi. Easy to make ven pongal recipe using sago and moong dal.
We usually make Ven pongal | khara pongal using raw rice or millets too. I have seen this Sago pongal | sabudana pongal in a restaurant menu card, in Chennai. We usually make sabudana khichidi | sabudana vada using sago. A few days back I saw Javvarisi pongal on my Instagram feed. Since I had sago in hand, I tried out this recipe. It turned out very well and I loved the texture of the ven pongal too.
We can also make sweet version of this Javvarisi pongal too. I will share that recipe soon in Jeyashri’s kitchen. This is a no onion no garlic recipe, which can be made on fasting days too.
