Steps

1To begin making Paruppu Payasam, first heat ghee in a small pan on low heat, add in the cashew nuts and roast on low heat until golden and crisp. Turn off the heat and keep aside.
2In a pressure cooker, combine the washed and drained chana dal and moong dal with 1 cup of water and pressure cook for 4 whistles. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Mash the dals coarsely and keep aside.
3Once done, transfer the dals to a heavy bottom pan, add in the milk, coconut milk, coconut, jaggery and cardamom powder.
4Stir and simmer the dal mixture until the jaggery dissolves and bring the mixture to a brisk boil. Turn the heat to low immediately and simmer for a few more minutes till the payasam reaches the desired consistency.
