PONGAL

PONGAL

It was in the year 2003 when I had to attend an interview in Chennai. It was my first visit to the state of Tamilnadu. I got down from the Howrah Chennai Mail at around 5 am. I looked around, found a dormitory where I could freshen up. At around 7 am, I left the station and came out to explore various possibilities of reaching the venue. However, I decided to have breakfast first and thus been to a nearby small hotel.


Idly, vada and dosa have been regular items and strongly felt like trying something new. I found some people having a rice item (Pongal) and ordered one for myself. I was served the rice item (Pongal) along with tomato chutney. The moment I tasted it, I was in a state of ecstasy and could not resist ordering one more plate.


Till today I could never get that taste and sometimes feel like going to Chennai exclusively to have Pongal. However, not very sure whether that small hotel still exists or not and even if it exists, whether the quality is being maintained or not. I would cherish the taste forever and my heartfelt thanks to whosoever have prepared it.
