INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 200ml

Yellow moong dal – 1/ 4 cup Powdered jaggery – 1/3 –1/2 cup Ghee – 1 tbsp Cashews – Few Cloves – 2 nos Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp Coconut milk – 2 tbsp (optional) Milk – 1/4 cup Water – As needed

METHOD

Take 1/4 cup of moong dal & roast in a tsp of ghee till u get nice smell.Then pressure cook it with required water. Remove the whistle , mash the dal well and add powdered jaggery.After the jaggery melts, it will start to boil and allow it to roll boil for sometime.If ur jaggery has impurities,make the syrup separately.Strain it and then add to the dal. Finally add cardamom powder.In a seperate pan add  the remaining ghee , roast cashews and cloves. Add to payasam. After switching off the stove add the coconut milk(if needed) and boiled milk as per the consistency.. Adding coconut milk gives extra flavour and richness.Close with a lid and enjoy after 30 mins. NOTE Always add milk & coconut milk only at the end ,ie . Before switching off the stove. Do not boil after u add them.Payasam will give a curdled look. If u are planning to add coconut milk , reduce the amount of jaggery. To reduce the sweetness, add little more hot milk .. To increase the sweetness , prepare jaggery syrup separately and add to payasam. Boil for sometime. Adding cloves gives a nice smell to the payasam. So please don’t avoid it. Also u can add a zing of edible camphor for additional flavour. Initially u’ll find the payasam little watery, but it will thicken as  it cools down ..

Offer to god, get his blessings and enjoy !
