I have the EXACT same condition
The BEST PONGAL I have ever had was in Trichy near Chatharam Bust stand (Chatharam= Rental Hall) in a nondescript "cafe" as they call it at 7 AM 15 years ago, on my way to visit family after mundan of my 16 year old at Tirupati
The radio played Kartikeya devotional songs, the servers were all showered and wore vibhuti and vermilion, they placed farm fresh banana leaves, we sprinkled water and wiped it off, they served pongal from buckets and placed a HUGE BLOB of freshly made coconut chutney and poured the sambar from a bucket... it smothered the pongal and melted the creamy concoction
We lost sense of time... we downed it with two davara tumblers of filter coffee.
Less than Rs.10 for a meal for two in 1999
The second best place in the world for pongal is also in Trichy, on Vayaloor Rd
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK MEMORIES Vikas

I even remember eating in kalahasthi two years back it was too good served in banana leaves.
No other have that maic.
I missed it in my 4 year stay in Bangalore and here in Chennai it is there monday I guess.
