#SLC Sugarcane juice Pongal, known as Karumbu Chaaru Pongal in Tamil or Cheruku Rasam Pongali in Telugu, is a traditional South Indian sweet dish where sugarcane juice is used as the primary sweetener instead of jaggery or refined sugar. This unique version of sweet pongal has a distinct, mild flavor and is often prepared during the Makar Sankranti/Pongal harvest festival. This recipe tastes naturally sweet and is very aromatic too. Traditionally a pinch of edible camphor or carpoora is added for the flavor.
