Ven pongal is a popular South Indian breakfast recipe made using rice and yellow moong dal as key ingredients. I have posted many version of ven pongal, Samba godhumai rava pongal, Rava pongal and Millet Ven pongal. Though I am not a big fan of Oats, I have a cup of Oats lying in my pantry for a long time. I was thinking as what to cook using the oats, then flashed this idea of making Oats Ven pongal. It got ready in a jiffy and we all enjoyed that with Kara Chutney. I have posted few Oats recipes as well in Jeyashri’s Kitchen. Oats pongal tasted well but it will be in perfect taste and texture only when it is hot. Check out my other interesting Oats recipes
