Poongar Rice

Poongar rice, also known as “Pongal” or “Pongami rice,” is a traditional Indian variety of rice primarily grown in Tamil Nadu. Known for its aromatic fragrance and slightly nutty flavor, Poongar rice is often used in South Indian dishes. It has a unique texture that makes it ideal for making dishes like Pongal, a savory rice and lentil porridge. This rice variety is valued for its nutritional benefits and is often considered a healthier alternative to more common varieties.
