Moong dal is very good for health. We can prepare this for all functions. It is rich in proteins and good for health. My mom prepares this payasam in an awesome way.

Using moongdal we can prepare lot of varieties in sweets and also in sambar varieties.

I will prepare these items using moongdal in coming days. Sure you all like and you all love to prepare these varieties.

Jaggery - 2Cups

Cashews - 10
Raisins - 10

Method of Preparation:

- Wash the moong dal well and drain the water.

- Keep it in pressure cooker for 20minutes, so that it gets smashed.

- Again keep the vessel in gas stove for the next step of preparation.

- Then add the jaggery to the boiled moong dal. Don’t skip the water content it will help for the jaggery preparation and also for liquid content.

- Stir well for 5 minutes. After 5minutes add the milk and again stir well for 10 minutes.

- Fry the cashews, raisins and chopped coconut well, until it comes golden brown color.

Personal Suggestion:

- You can add bengal gram or javarisi or rice to the moongdal together, if you need.

- Today I made the payasam in a simple way without adding these items.

- Avoid pressure cooking, boil the moong dal in the kadai itself, like directly to the gas stove.

- But it will take lot of time for boiling.

- Don't avoid this.So that you will get the exact taste of moong dal payasam.
