Pasi paruppu payasam is quick, easy recipe to prepare on festival days. A traditional recipe my mom makes for even a Friday quick payasam.
This is best to make quickly for a prasadam or as part of a special meal with vada payasam. Or when you crave for a dessert with jaggery Soothing on tummy too.
Check out my Sakkarai pongal recipe and Kadalai paruppu payasam recipe in this website.

My mom makes this very often for her Friday Thiruvilakku poojai. This is very flavourful and my favourite too…
Especially, I like the flavour of the pasi paruppu payasam gets enhanced if we roast it slightly and prepare it, this is the tip I learnt from my mom. Also, I sometimes directly fry the lentils in a small pressure cooker and make it one pot. This is the fast as well as easy way too. Moreover, if we cook in open pot, I found it takes more time. In fact, this is one of the easy and quick to make payasams, next to the Aval payasam. I made this payasam last week for Aadi perukku.
Pasi paruppu payasam method:
- If you are adding cashews, heat ghee (2 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon) and roast broken cashews in it until golden brown. Drain from ghee and keep aside.
- In the same pan, roast half cup moong dal until golden brown and you get the roasted aroma (nutty flavor). Do it in low flame or medium flame to avoid burnt dal. You can dry roast too, but I like ghee to fasten the process.
- Pour ¾ cup water (approximately) along with milk and pressure cook up to 3 whistles.
- Oncedone, mix well in a mashing way and add powdered jaggery to this.
- Simmer for 2 minutes and add milk/ water as per the need to adjust the consistency. Add 1 powdered cardamom (⅛ teaspoon cardamom powder).
- Garnish with roasted cashew nuts if desired.
Notes:
- You can cook fully in milk, instead water for more rich taste. But make sure the milk you use is boiled and cooled if its fresh especially.
- Use coconut milk in place of dairy milk. This gives an excellent flavour and very soothing for your stomach.
- You can add raisins for enhancing the taste if you like.
- Don't over cook and mash the dal and make the payasam like porridge. The texture is very important.
Serve warm for best taste.
Top tips
- Use small pressure cooker for speeding up the process.
- Roast the dal for best flavor.
- Melt and filter jaggery syrup if it has impurities.
- Mash the dal slightly to thicken the payasam. This also prevents milk splitting after adding jaggery, as it helps in binding.
- Do not add jaggery to hot boiling payasam. Simmer and add.
- Simmer the payasam after adding jaggery without boiling briskly.
- Use UHT tetra pack regular milk for rich taste as well as less chance of curdling.
- Moong dal Kheer recipe is rich version of payasam in which dal is cooked in milk and thick in consistency.
