This is very simple and healthy recipe from my sister Annu. Moong dal is an excellent source of protein and this kheer/ payasam is sure to satiate any sweet craving! This kheer is mildly sweet, so feel free to add more jaggery if you like it sweeter.
Ingredients (to serve 4)
1 cups moong dal (split green gram)
1 tbsp ghee
3 cups water
1/2 cup jaggery (or brown sugar)
cardamom powder for flavor
10 pcs cashews n kishmish(raisins) roasted in 1 tsp ghee
1/2 cup coconut milk (tinned)
Lightly roast the moong dal in 1 tbsp of ghee for about 10 mins.
Add 3 cups of water and cook the dal for about 20 mins.
Melt jaggery in a teaspoon of water and add cardamom powder with fried cashews and raisins.
Stir in the jaggery mixture to the cooked moong dal.
Simmer for 5minutes and turn off the heat.
Stir in the coconut milk to moong dal mixture.
Serve warm.
