Sweet Pongal | చక్కెర పొంగల is an Andhra (South Indian) delicacy and this is my mother's recipe which we make during Sankranthi. Pressure cooker method saves times where as cooking in a pot gives more authentic flavor. Either ways using edible camphor at the end will complete and enhance the dish.

Makara Sankranti or Maghi or simply Sankranthi, is a festival day in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to the deity Surya. It is observed each year in the lunar month of Magha which corresponds with the month of January as per the Gregorian calendar and is a day the people of India and Nepal celebrate their harvest. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makar_Sankranti
