That quinoa ven pongal looks amazing and this is the best ever recipe to make with quinoa. Healthier and a great option to swap rice and yet not compromise on flavors.
Pongal is always welcome in our home. I substitute rice with quinoa too and I make it exactly like your recipe. Delicious bowl of comfort and a perfect healthy breakfast.
