Notes

Dal should not be cooked too mushy some whole dals here and there is good.
According to jaggery sweetness you can add it more or less.
Even a bit of pacha karpooram can be added if you like.
Add thick milk for nice tasty payasam.
Coconut chunks can be added instead of grated ones.
You can fry the coconut in ghee and add for more flavour.
