Ingredients -
(I have reduced the measurements here cos I made it for about 30 people and those measurements would be ridiculous!)
Chana Dal 3/4 - 1 cup
Milk 5 cups
Sugar 1 1/4 cups
Dry Nuts Powder (Walnut, Almonds, Cashew 6-7 each) (Optional)
Coconut Fresh/Frozen Grated 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder 1/2 tsp
Method Of Preparation -
Pressure cook Chana Dal in about 2 cups of water.
In a heavy bottomed pan, boil milk and add the dry nuts powder and grated coconut.
Add the boiled chana dal and sugar and let the mixture boil for about 10 min. Some might like to mash half of the chana dal for a thicker consistency. I prefer the chana dal as is!!
Traditionally this payasam is made using jaggery. But the jaggery I have at home is breaking the milk so used sugar instead.
Add Cardamom powder and mix well. Garnish with sauteed cashews and raisins (I didn't add the garnish).
Preparation Time 45 min (incl pressure cooking the dal)
Serves 4-5 Adults
