The word pongal itself refers to the "boiling over" of milk and rice during the month of Thai. It is celebrated by the Hindus. The name Ponggal is derived from the Tamil word pongu, meaning "boil over" or "flourish." The ponggal should be cooked outdoors on a tri-sugarcane structure using natural fire from charcoal or wood. That is the significance of the sugar cane during Ponggal.
