Paruppu payasam is another simple payasam. Its a creamy and delicious payasam made with Moong dal / Split Green Gram, Jaggery and Coconut Milk. It can be prepared in any special occasions or festivals. The use of split moong dal makes it healthier too. The color of the payasam completely depends upon the type of jaggery used.

Pasi Paruppu Payasam is a simple, easy and healthy dessert.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Moong Dal / Split Green Gram
- 1 Cup Thin Coconut Milk
- ¾ Cup Thick Coconut Milk
- ½ Cup Powdered Jaggery

- 10 Cashew
- ½ Cup Sago
- Required Water
- 2 Cardamom
Instructions
- Dry roast Split moong Dal until nice aroma come out.
- Add in required water and pressure cook until the moong dal cooks well. I have pressure cooked for 3 whistles in medium flame. Switch off the flame and allow the pressure cooker to release pressure on its own.
- Open the pressure cooker and mash the dal using a ladle or hand blender.
- Add in Jaggery and thin coconut milk and keep cooking until the mixture blends well.
- parallely cook Sago with enough water until soft.
- Add in the cooked sago into the dal mixture. give a quick stir.
- Add in the thick coconut milk. Cook for 2 minutes in low flame.
- Finally dry roast nuts and dry fruits in ghee and add them into the payasam.
- Delicious and creamy payasam is now ready to serve.
Notes
- While dry roasting Moong dal make sure not to burn it or it would spoil the taste of payasam. Keep stirring while dry roasting.
- If you like to have few chunks of dal in the payasam them omit the step of mashing the dal.
- I have limited the addition of ghee. Adding more ghee would make the payasam more delicious.
- Any choice of nuts and dey fruits can be roasted and added into the payasam.
- Addition of sago is completely optional.
- Do not cook for more time after adding thick coconut milk or the payasam would cuddle.
