Pongal / Bogi special Lunch Menu

As all of us know Pongal is a special occasion and every one wanted to make sure that the lunch menu on Pongal day a grand and great. The intention of this post is to share the lunch menu that we follow which I believe makes your Pongal a grand. In the souther part of the tamilnadu, the brahmin's give more importance to the Pongal than the Bogi. Accordingly their lunch menu will also vary. I found that in Chennai the northern part of Tamil nadu, bogi is given more importance than the Pongal. The below menu is the one that we follow and this varies from family to family. Happy Pongal.!!
