Ingredients:
Moong dhal (yellow) / pasi Payir/ Green gram lentils: 1/3 cup
Water: 1 cup
Milk: 1/2 cup
Jaggery: ½ cup powdered (less or more according ur sweet level)
Green cardamom: 4 pounded slighty
Grated fresh coconut: 3 tbsp
Cashew: 8 counts
Ghee: 1 tsp
Method:
Rinse the dhal twice and add the cup of water. Pressure-cook the dhal until two whistles.
Meantime, heat the ghee and fry the cashew nuts, keep it aside.
Once the pressure has been released, transfer the dhal in another saucepan, add the jaggery and milk, let it cook until it is well blended. You can adjust the consistency of payasam by adding milk if it is thick!
Add the fried cashews, coconut and powdered cardamom and switch off the stove.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

We Telugus are not used to dal payasams, as far as I know. I thought I was making something special when I made this when I had guests over. (I like this a lot.) The next time I met them, one of them joked that she would eat everything that I cooked but please don't make "that same payasam". :-)
I like this with bits of coconut in it.
I love this payasom, one of my favourite and you know it is so long ago i had this payasom s hubby and daughter don't like this but i love it and making for one that is a bit too much.
