As today is the auspicious occasion of vishu, wanted to try out a different variety of payasam rather than the common ones. Here is my take on Paruppu Pradhaman, that turned out absolutely delicious, buttery and velvety! A treat to your sweet tooth!
Ingredients
Moong dal— 1cup
Jaggery — 2 1/4 cup
Coconut milk— 3 cups
Ghee —- 3 tablespoon
