how to make moong dal kheer /pasi paruppu payasamThe fluffy little yellow moong dal is always light on your tummy than any other dhal giving a sufficiency with high nutritional quotient.Here in our homes its like a system of rites they make this delightful payasam for every occasion!the particular event may be small or big.I have grown up seeing my paati making this simple earthy dessert she does not add any milk or even coconut milk to it but I still remember that she never miss to add some stripes of coconut pieces to the payasam.moong dal kheer /pasi paruppu payasamSomehow I have missed adding coconut even though the very thought was in my mind because personally I love to munch the bits of coconut in between the soupy payasam.Always add the cardamom powder at last so that we get the full flavour of the elachi!the aroma gets lost if we add it before itself.Its better to make a syrup out of jaggery and add to remove the unwanted dust rather than adding as such.I have given the jaggery measure as per my taste you can increase if you want it to be little more sweeter.

Notes

The consistency should be neither thick nor too runny(should be able to pour in a glass tumbler and drink).
Then dhal should be cooked correctly without becoming mushy.
If the dhal is mushy then payasam will be too smooth in texture.
You can add milk when cooking decreasing the amount of water to add richness.
Even coconut milk is added in some versions which will more rich in taste.
