This is yet another classic Payasam (pradhaman) recipe from the state of Kerala. It is prepared with moong dal (split yellow ones), coconut milk and jaggery. It is very simple to prepare and tastes heavenly. I love all jaggery based payasams. Usually I prepare it with milk. Occasionally I use coconut milk instead of milk. Using coconut milk gives the payasam a special taste and also makes it rich . Once in a while, you can enjoy preparing this exotic Cherupayar payasam. Today we will learn how to make Pasi Paruppu Payasam with coconut milk-Moong dal Kheer following this easy recipe.
Kerala Style Cherupayar Parippu Payasam

Recipe Category: Payasam-Dessert
Recipe Cuisine: Kerala
Ingredients needed
Moong dal-Pasi paruppu- 100 grams or 1/2 cup
Jaggery - 200 grams (or more if you like it very sweet)
Coconut - 1 big grated
Cashew nuts -6-7
Coconut bits -2 tbsp
Ghee -2 tsp
Cardamom - 1/4 tsp
Preparation
Dry roast moong dal well until it turns slightly brown.
Wash and pressure cook dal with water (just enough water to cover the dal) until soft. Mash it slightly.
Extract 1 cup of thick coconut milk from the grated coconut and keep it aside.
Again add another 2 cups of warm water and extract coconut milk for the second time.This is the second thin coconut milk (rendam pal).Check out how to extract coconut milk in detail.
Heat 1/2 cup of water, dissolve jaggery in it and filter it to remove impurities.
Fry cashew nuts and coconut pieces until golden brown in ghee separately.
Method
Take a heavy bottomed pan, add the cooked dal, filtered jaggery water and the second thin coconut milk.
Bring it to boil and then simmer until it reduces to half the quantity. Keep stirring all the time to prevent the dal from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Then add the 1st coconut milk, a pinch of salt and remove from flame. Do not boil after adding the 1st coconut milk. Remove from heat when it is about to boil or just heat it.
Add cardamom powder, fried cashew nuts and coconut bits to the payasam.
Delicious Cherupayau Parippu payasam is ready to be served.
Note - If you are using ready made coconut milk, take 1 cup of milk and keep it aside. For the thin coconut milk, dilute 1 cup of thick coconut milk with 1 cup of water.
