Sakkarai Pongal

This a festive sweet dish that mom usually makes at home for Pongal or Vinayak Chaturthi. I always used to think that making sweet pongal was very tough. But when I saw my mother-in-law make it for Ganesh Chaturthi last time, i couldnt believe how easy it can be. And guess what she did not make just a bowl but a whole big pot. She just makes things so simple and sweet. My cooooolllll m-i-l.
