Arisi paruppu payasam is one staple recipe made during festive occasions (with coconut milk) by my mom and also every Friday a simpler version of this. It tastes divinely making perfect for celebrations
I am not sure how I forgot arisi paruppu payasam. Last time, I made this for a festival and after long time, I enjoyed making and having this childhood favorite payasam.
As a kid, it have not been much special or exciting to me, but after years, when I remembered and made this, tasted this, really loved it and realized how good it is and how I had liked it. So from that time I wanted to post this and tried to post last week, but could not. And this week I decided to post this.
📖 Variations
My mom makes this with coconut milk for festivals and for Fridays, she powders this coarsely and makes it with milk - a quicker version for the weekly version. Check out my thengai payasam recipe
Instead of coconut milk you can also use regular milk.
📝 My notes
- I added powdered jaggery as such, but you can also melt it slightly with little water and filter to add it. Make sure to add water carefully.
- After adding coconut milk, do not boil in high heat. Just simmer to bring to boil.
- You can also use store bought coconut milk. But it's very rich, so adjust accordingly.
- As we are adding coconut milk, it spoils easily. I recommend finish immediately within 4 hours or keep in fridge as soon as it is cooled and consume within a day.
