It is a tradition in my native Udupi , to prepare this Spicy Pongal or (Huggi in local language) during this winter season. This entire month you can find this recipe prepared in every kitchen. The spicy pongal is cooked along with cinnamon and cloves to keep your body heat during this chill time.

This food is very energetic and feels heavily filled for the entire day.  The spicy pongal tastes the best along with combination of a tangy syrup.
