Moong Dhal Payasam/Pasi Paruppu Payasam

Moong Dhal Payasam/Pasi Paruppu Payasam is a very healthy and easy payasam to make. My mom makes it during special pooja days like Tamil new years day, Ekadasi etc. Since it is made of jaggery and dhal, it is totally packed with iron and proteins. In addition to it, the milk and coconut milk also provides calcium and vitamins. It is a very yummy payasam which the kids will also love.

Here’s how to make Pasi Paruppu Payasam with step by step photos...

Method

Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a kadai and roast the dhal until light golden brown color for just 2 mins. Transfer it to the pressure cooker, add required amount of water and cook it for 2 whistles. Alternatively can be covered and cooked for 20 mins.


After the pressure releases, mash the dhal. Add coconut milk, boiled milk, cardamom powder and jaggery and keep mixing it. Let it cook for about 10 mins.

Meanwhile in a separate pan add 1 tbsp of ghee and roast the cashews and raisins to golden brown color and add it the boiling payasam.

Now switch off the stove and yummy “Pasi Paruppu Payasam” is ready.


Enjoy this healthy and delightful payasam.

    Hi LO, Tried this for Ugadi and it came out yummy!!! One small suggestion would be to mention how much water to add to the moong dhal when pressure cooking. Some one new to Indian cooking may not be familiar with it.
