Moong Dal Kheer/ Pasi Paruppu Payasam

Ingredients

• 3/4th cup split green gram dal/ moong dal/ pasi paruppu
• 1/4th cup channa dal
• 3/4th cup jaggery/ gur/ molasses
• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 2 tbsp coconut sliced and chopped
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 10-15 cashewnuts
• A pinch of cardamom powder

Method

• Mix both the dals together and soak in water for 20 minutes.
• Pressure cook for three whistles or until soft with very little water. Once the pressure drops, open the lid and mash the dals lightly.
• Some of the channa dal can be left as whole.
• Boil the jaggery with 1/2 cup water.
• After it dissolves, filter it to remove any impurities.
• Now mix in the mashed dal, add milk and stir well. You may replace milk with thick coconut milk.
• Add the cardamom powder.
• Finally fry the coconut pieces and cashewnuts in ghee and garnish the mixture.
• Adjust the consistency by adding more milk before serving.

this is a very healthy kheer/ payasam, as it is full of proteins, iron, so healthy, if you use fat-free milk, less ghee to fry nuts & coconut, or even coconut can be avoided.
