Moong Dal Payasam Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Dessert | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Moong Dal (Paasi Paruppu) – 1 cup
Jaggery dissolved in water – 1/2 cup
Milk – 1/2 cup
Coconut Milk – 1/4 cup
Cardamom – 1 tsp
Ghee – 1 tsp
Cashews, Raisins – 1 tsp each
Method:
- Dry roast moong dal till golden brown and nice aroma rises. Set aside to cool. Take coconut milk extract and set aside.
- Heat ghee and roast cashews and raisin and set aside.Then pressure cook moong dal (with 1/2 cup of water) for 4 whistles and keep aside, It should be mashy enough. Just mash it once thats enough.
- In hot water, immerse powdered jaggery and crush it well, filter to remove impurities and keep it ready. Now take a wide bottomed pan(I used a nonstick pan) add cooked moong daal, then add filtered jaggery syrup and milk. Let it cook for 3-5mins.
- Then add coconut milk, cardamom powder – give a quick stir.Bring it to single boil, dont let it boil for more. Add ghee roasted cashews and serve hot/cold!
I love it cold – thick and creamy payasam…yummm! Do give a try for urself and see 🙂
My Notes:
- After coconut milk is added dont let it boil for more time it will start to curdle.
- Dry roasting moong dal gives a nice flavour.
- You can skip milk and make it fully with coconut milk itself.
- Adjust sweetness according to your taste.
we make this with normal milk instead of coconut milk!! coconut milk should add an interesting taste!!! will try next time!!

What is jaggery?
It is coarse dark sugar we get here in india for making many traditional sweets/desserts.You can check here for more info : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaggery
I add half cup of javarisi along with moong dal.It makes the payasam thicker and tastier.Give a try
Payasam and kheer, is there not any difference, can payasam be called kheer? Kheer is ubiquitous and while payasam is typically south indian , ofcourse now cannot be boxed
Its awesome I tried ds receipe..!!

Hi Sharmi. If I want to make it with coconut milk only and skip milk, how much coconut milk should I add?
You can add 1/2 cup thick coconut milk and 1/4 cup thin coconut milk
Taste was really nice, thanks for sharing!!
