    Hi Navpreet,

    We went to Coimbatore to my BIL's house for deepavali. And this time we bought sweets from the shops.:idea Because my BIL wants to give rest for me and my co-sister. :partySo we had good variety of sweets and savories. She prepared only carrot halwa that too before we arrive there. we had a very good vacation and celeberated the function with them.

    Yellow moong dal Payasam

    Ingredients

    Condensed milk 400 gms
    Yellow moong dal 1 cup
    Jaggery 50 gms
    Elaichi powder 1/2 sp
    Cashews 10 - 12
    Ghee 1 tabsp.
    Coconut – 1 tab sp (optional)

    Method:

    Cook the moong dal well till soft and mash it well.
    You can keep it in the pressure cooker.
    Heat the jaggery in one cup of water till it dissolves and strain it well.
    Mix the jaggery syrup, cooked moong and cook for 5 minutes with constant stirring.
    Add the condensed milk and stir well.
    Remove from the fire.
    Add fried cashews and raisins to the payasam and top it with the grated coconut and elaichi powder and serve hot or cold.

    Note: For all payasam, you can add this condenced milk / milk maid, instead of sugar and milk. This will increase the taste of the payasam/kheer.
    Here you can put channa dal instead of moong dal. Or you can use green moong dal also.
