Ven pongal is a comforting South Indian rice-and-lentil dish made by cooking short-grain rice and yellow moong dal until soft and creamy, then tempering with ghee, cumin seeds, black pepper, cashews, and curry leaves for a fragrant, savory finish; lightly spiced and nourishing, it’s traditionally served for breakfast or prasadam and prized for its warm, easily digestible texture and calming, sattvic qualities that boost energy and mental clarity.
