Nice of my housemate's girlfriend to give us some Ponggal rice - rice that cooked with fresh cow's milk, raisins, cashew nuts and brown sugar in an earthen pot. Actually, it was Thai Ponggal festival for all Hindus on Wednesday, as it begins in the harvesting month of Thai. One of the celebration is cooking Ponggal rice; as a way of saying grace to god for bountiful harvest.
On the next day, there were still some Ponggal rice ingredients that left over from previous day, so she decided to finished them up and cook another pot of Ponggal rice without saying grace or reciting a prayer.
In short, it was my first experience eating Ponggal rice and I couldn't resist a second helpings.
