Spicy and Sweet Pongal is very common for this festival.

Sweet Pongal recipe follows:

Wash and pressure cook rice and hesar bele together along with 1 elachi and 1 clove. 

Take a kadai and add ghee. Once the ghee melts, add dry fruits and crushed elachi and clove. Now add grated jaggery and also water. Once the jaggery is completely melted, add the cooked rice and hesar bele. 

Mix it throughly and enjoy eating it hot or cold.
