Moong Dal Payasam Ingredients
- Moong Dal – Split yellow moong dal is traditionally used for this payasam.
- Jaggery – You can use powdered jaggery or block jaggery. I crushed block jaggery then used it. Always make sure to strain the syrup to remove impurities if any.
- Milk, Coconut Milk – Fresh milk should be used to avoid curdling. Also use thick coconut milk for a rich flavour.
- Nuts – I have used just cashewnuts, you can use raisins too if you like.
- Ghee – Use fresh homemade ghee for a great flavour.
- Flavorings – Cardamom powder is the main flavouring here.
