Makar Sankranti is the harvest festival celebrated by many across India. Different states celebrate this festival under different names. In Andhra, Sankranti takes palce for four consecutive days. Starting with Bhogi Festival, Surya Pongal, Mattu Pongal, and fourth day is celebrated as Kaanum Pongal. Every day of festival has its own significance.
During this time, people make or buy lots of sweets and savories to relish and to gift family and friends. Here is a list of few popular recipes which are always trending during this time of the month. I am starting the list with savory recipes. I am very fond of the savory treats, which are prepared during festivals. The good thing about most of the savory recipes is, they can be easily stored for 2-3 weeks.
The recipes in this post mostly fall under Andhra Cuisine. Any celebration or festival is incomplete without making Pindi Vantalu in Andhra. Pindi vantalu are soul of Andhra’s rich and varied cuisine.
