Pulagam
Pulagam is a Neivedyam you offer to god. It is made of rice, mong dal & ghee by cooking together. It looks dry & can be consumed as normal rice, along with dal, curries, rasam & curd.
Pulagam is made as daily neivedyam to god.It can also be offered on auspicious & festive occasions. While offering as prashad we top it with little ghee, jaggery & then offered it to god.
Sravanamasam is a auspicious month & that too tuesdays & fridays are the most important days of this month. So I make this pulagam on these 2days along with a sweet dish & offer it to god.
