Payasam (Paruppu payasam)

Payasam is one of the desserts which south indian families prepare for festivals. I have explained in this the preparation in traditional style. This is one type made with moong dal (pasi paruppu) as main ingredient. Jaggery based dishes are always very good and healthier than white sugar.
