Esha and her kids can be seen happily screaming ‘polgalo pongal’ as they watch the traditional dish being cooked. Sharing the video, Esha wrote that she always makes pongal at home for her family and sweet pongal is her kids’ favourite.
‘As the country celebrates the harvest festivals of Sakranti, Pongal, Bihu and Uttarayan. I always make pongal at home for my family (a tradition I learnt from my grandmother),’ wrote the actress and added, ‘Sweet pongal is a favourite with my kids and we all love screaming together “polgalo pongal” as it’s being cooked. Sending warm wishes to you and your loved ones. Stay blessed.’
