    About this recipe

    Huggi anna is a native of Karnataka basically prepared with moongdal and rice. There are both sweet and savoury versions of huggi anna.

    Savoury version of huggi anna is similar to Khara Pongal / Ven Pongal , a porridge consistency moongdal and rice dish with spices , similar to Khichdi .

    But this style of Huggi anna recipe is unique, it's made only in few remote villages of Karnataka during Makar Sankranti festival. Unlike regular Huggi Anna this recipe has texture similar to overcooked mushy rice usually served with coconut chutney and tamarind gojju.

    Also for variation , fresh hyacinth bean / avarekalu is also added to this huggi anna along with Moong dal.
