    Navratri begins today and for day 1 Neivedyam it was Samai Khara Ven Pongal and Sakkarai Pongal. Since I have already made Ven Pongal in different combinations, thought of including Samai and made this dish.

    The sweet was Sakkarai Pongal and since I made sakkarai pongal every Tuesday for Ganapathi Homan, the method I am following to make the dish has changed over the months. Though the ingredients remain the same.

    I have been following the tradition of making special Navratri Neivedyams for all the 9 Days of Navratri. You can see what has been done over the years in my Navaratri / Navratri – Special Dishes collection. Another Samai recipe you can make is this Healthy Samai Idli
