Pongal: the harvest festival pot — India · Cuisine World
In mid-January, families in Tamil Nadu celebrate Pongal, the harvest festival, by cooking sweet rice until the pot boils over. Put the simulated steps in order.
Your task
Put the steps in order.
- Sweet pongal is rice and moong dal cooked soft, then mixed with jaggery and ghee. Simplified: every family has its own recipe. Cashews are nuts: check the label with an adult.
- Simulation: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are only pretend here. At home, always cook with an adult.
- Allergens: check the label with an adult (gluten, milk, egg, nuts, peanut, shellfish, soy, sesame). We never ask about your allergies.
Score
- Safe kitchen — Adult, clean hands, cool handles: you cooked safely.
- Technique — Right order, right amounts, right timing.
- Food knowledge — You understood why it works — and where it comes from.
Around the world
Pongal lasts about four days. The word pongal also means boiling over, and people shout Pongalo Pongal when the milk rises out of the pot as a sign of plenty.
India
Simulation only: heat, ovens, hot oil and knives are pretend. At home always cook with an adult. Allergens are shown, never asked — nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
