Golu is the beautiful display or arrangement of dolls in South India during Navarathri which falls in the autumn season. Navaratri is a special festival dedicated for the worship of Goddess Durga. Navaratri is a Sanskrit word – “Nava” means nine and “Ratri” means night. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakthi are invoked at our homes and worshiped for peace and prosperity. Dusshera or VijayaDasami denotes the last day of the festivities. For the quick links - for Navaratri/Golu Recipes please click this link

Karupatti Pongal Recipe/Palm Jaggery Pongal Recipe-How to make Karupatti Pongal with step by step photos
Today, I am going to share a traditional and tempting Karupatti Pongal. We usually make sakkarai Pongal in a pot, but in this post I am sharing an easy way to make sakkarai Pongal in a pressure cooker. Usually jaggery is used to make Sakkarai Pongal, but I have replaced it with Palm Jaggery/Karupati. Karupatti/Palm Jaggery is made from the extract of the palm tree. It is a very healthy and traditional sweetener and is an excellent alternative for white sugar.
Karupatti
is rich in essential Vitamins, Minerals and Amino acids. Palm jaggery is rich
in iron and it increases hemoglobin and treats anemia if consumed regularly. It
is rich in magnesium and helps to regulate the nervous system. Presence of
calcium helps to build and maintain strong bones. It also contains potassium
which boosts heart health, decreases cramps and has several other benefits as
well. It boosts the immune system and thus prevents several blood-related and
other disorders. Do check out how to make Karupatti Pongal and post your
comments here. Meanwhile do check out other Pongal Recipes here and All aboutPongal and Pongal Menu here.
