Moong Dal Payasam/Pasi Paruppu Payasam

Ingredients:

Pasi paruppu/moong dal - 1/2 cup, heaped

Jaggery (powdered) - 1/4 cup (add more if you are a sweet lover)

Milk - 1/2 cup

Water - 3/4 cup, approximately

Ghee - 1 tsp

Elachi - 1, powdered

Cashews - 4-6, broken into pieces

Method:

Fry moong dal with little ghee until you get the roasted fragrance (take care not to brown it too much). Add enough water and milk and pressure cook up to 3 whistles (for more richness cook fully in milk instead of adding water). After done, mix well in a mashing way and add powdered jaggery and elaichi to this. Now boil the payasam in low flame for 2 minutes and add milk/water as per the need to adjust the consistency.

Fry cashews in ghee and add it to the payasam and enjoy hot!
