It’s Payasam Time. Payasam makes you nostalgic or reminds you of your grandmother, especially if you are a south Indian. It’s one of the most comforting dishes and is usually made on special and auspicious days. I personally love it for cold rainy days. So Here is a vegan moong dal payasam recipe, packed with protein, the goodness of dry fruits, and lots of love.
Ingredients:
- 50 gms boiled Moong Dal
- 150 ml Coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Jaggery
- 3 gms Salt
- 1.5 tsp Cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp Sago pearls
