Makar Sankranti | Lohri | Pongal | Festival Recipes

Every year in January while north India welcome its first festival of Makar Sankranti, also spread happiness of Lohri and Pongal.  It is the most joyous season. Read more about Makar Sankranti, Lohri, and Pongal. In Sankranti usually a combination of til/sesame and jaggery is consumed with kite flying. In Lohri, it all related to bhangra/giddha, bonfire and revri/popcorn. Here I am presenting few recipes which you can make on the occasion of   Makar Sankranti, Lohri, and Pongal.
