Freekeh Pongal

Though I did non grow upwards eating or making Pongal, it is straight off a comfort nutrient that I had started enjoying during my curt fourth dimension inwards Chennai. Here, inwards New England, I brand Pongal amongst all sorts of whole grains together with seeds similar cherry rice, dark rice, quinoa, millet, farro, etc. Today, it is Freekeh since I accept enough inwards my pantry thank yous to organic cracked Freekeh which started showing upwards inwards Costco shelves inwards the recent past.

Now talking of ghee, I grew upwards inwards India, the state of Ayurveda together with other ancient medicines. I accept read almost (and experienced equally well) the medicinal, therapeutic together with nutritional benefits of ghee.
