  • Heat a pan and dry roast half a cup of moong dal in it. Let it get golden brown and aroma comes off.
  • Add raw rice to the roasted dal and wash it in water to clean the impurities.
  • Boil water in a heavy-bottomed vessel and once it is rolling boil, add the washed rice- dal.
  • Let it boil until the rice- dal mix is cooked. Add jaggery powder in this stage. Let the jaggery melt and the payasam is cooked completely. Add cardamom powder in this stage and switch off the stove.
  • In another pan, add ghee and roast the cashews and raisins until golden brown.
  • Add roasted cashews to the payasam and add thin coconut milk. Serve warm.

Notes

  • I have used jaggery powder for this recipe. The Jaggery that I used is clean. If you feel that the jaggery has impurities, dissolve in water, heat, and strain the jaggery.
  • I have used thin coconut milk for this payasam. You can also add regular milk in room temperature.
