Kuthiraivali Paruppu Payasam | Millet Moong Kheer Recipe with step by step pictures.
Wishing all those who celebrate….
A very Happy New Year -புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள்
Today is Tamil New Year and hence a dessert is in order! Make this delicious payasam and your folks will really fall for this simple dish!
I had this recipe on my mind since a long time and been wanting to make it. Then I made this for Ugadhi last month.
Since I was not sure how my folks will accept this non traditional payasam , I made a small portion saying that even if no one likes it, I will have only a small portion remaining and I can eat it up without the need to waste it!
But things turned out the other way round! All I got was just a spoonful to taste and the kids ,yes even the little one, wanted a second helping!
Don’t be surprised when you see dried blackcurrants and almonds used as a garnish here! While I was making this one, the box of dried fruits and nuts went missing. Since mom said payasam should not be prepared without fruits and nuts especially on auspicious days, I added these two which,luckily, was stored in another box!
Here is how to make Kuthiraivali Paruppu Payasam | Millet Moong Kheer Recipe
