Paruppu payasam is one of the traditional Tamil brahmin style payasam, made in our home during festival times. During our childhood days, only when we have guests amma make milk-based payasam, that too mostly Semiya payasam. I never liked the jaggery-based payasam during my childhood days. But after I got married somehow I slowly started liking the Jaggery-based payasam more. We make paruppu payasam with moong dal. In some houses, they add a little bit of chana dal to enhance the creaminess of the payasam. My mom adds a little bit of chana dal also in this moong dal payasam. We make Moong dal payasam for Ganesh chaturti, Tamil new year, Varalakshmi nombu, Janmastami, Karthigai deepam, and also during small poojas performed at home. I have shared this recipe in Jeyashris kitchen many years ago. This is updated with full video. Also check out my Channa dal payasam, Sago moong dal payasam
Paruppu payasam recipe
In a pan add 1 tsp ghee and add the moong dal and chana dal. Roast till a nice aroma emits. Do it in a low flame without burning the dals. Transfer this to a vessel and add ¾ cup of water. Pressure cook till 3-4 whistles. You can soak this for 15 minutes and also cook it.
Roast the cashew nuts and coconut bits in 2 tsp ghee till golden brown. Keep it aside.
Let’s melt the jaggery now. In a pan add ¾ cup jaggery and 2 tbsp water. Melt the jaggery and keep it aside. No need to bring it to any string consistency.
Now mash the cooked dal.
Filter the jaggery syrup to remove any impurities. Add the mashed dal to the jaggery syrup and mix well
Let this boil for 3-4 mins. Stir well, or else it will stick to the bottom. Switch off the stove.
Bring this to room temperature. Now add the milk. Let this milk be at room temperature as well. Do not add hot milk. You can use raw milk or boiled cooled milk. Mix well.
Add the cardamom powder and roasted cashew nuts and coconut bits. Mix well.
Paruppu payasam is ready.
