Sir,
I thank SOM for the fitting eulogy (tribute) to Khichdi followed by salted Pongal, apart from sweet Pongal (Conquest by Khichdi in Star of Mysore dated Dec.23) which incidentally coincided with the present Tamil Month of Maargazhi (Maargasiramaasa in Kannada) known for such delectable early morning dish preparation of Pongal with a dash of whole pepper, salt and ghee, intended for Naivedhyam to the Lord in Srivaishnava temples all over South India and given to the devotees.
