Payatham Paruppu Payasam / Moong Dal (Pasi Paruppu) Payasam

Tamil Nadu Feast Payasam %%

Payatham Paruppu payasam is a very common payasam made in Tamil Nadu. It is a very traditional payasam and made for several auspicious and festive occasions. This payasam is very quick to make and is very flavorful. Traditionally, boiled and cooled milk is added in the payasam, but I have added coconut milk in it just to get an extra layer of flavor. Also roasting the payatham paruppu gives the payasam a very beautiful aroma.

This recipe is a part of my Tamil Nadu special Virundhunar Saapadu! Do make sure to see my complete set up and lunch idea.

  • Transfer it to a bowl and wash it well and then add just enough water (about 1 ¼ cups) to cook them in a pressure cooker until soft and mushy (about 3-4 whistles).
