I am a little late in wishing everyone a very Happy Tamil New Year and Vishu. Anyways never late, here is an authentic payasam recipe for the celebration 🙂 As a tradition we make arusuvai unnavu on this special day, which mean all the six taste is incorporated in food specially. I made few and adjusted a few 🙂 here is what I made on this special day.
Inipu/Sweet — Paruppu Payasam(dal kheer)
Pulippu/Sour — Maa vathal khuzhambhu(Mango preserve kuzhambhu)
Kasappu/Bitter — Vendhaya Dosai (methi dosa)
Thuvarpu/Astringent — Madulai / Served some pomegranate
Kaarpu/Spicy — Milagu Kuzhambhu(Pepper corn gravy)
Oovarpu/Salty– Any uppu poriyal will do, so I made prangikkai uppu poriyal(yellow pumpkin stir fry)
Recipe for Maa vathal Kuzhambhu, Vendhaya dosai, milagu kuzhambhu is coming soon….
Here is a sneak peak of my platter, excluding vendhaya dosai 🙂
I made a vegan version of this recipe for the first time and turned out well.
Ingredients:
Pasi Paruppu/Moong Dal : 1/2 cup
Water : 1 1/2 cup
Turmeric Powder : a generous pinch
Coconut Milk : 1 1/2 cup to 2 cups(replace by milk if not vegan)
Jaggery : 1/2 cup (adjust according to your taste buds)
Coconut Oil : 1 tablespoon (replace by ghee, if not vegan)
Cashews : Few
Raisins : Few
Method:
- Pressure cook pasi paruppu/moong dal with water and turmeric powder for 3 to 4 whistles.
- Let it cool. When pressure subsides open the cooker and make sure dal is cooked well.
- Now add coconut milk and let it come to boiling stage.
- Heat jaggery with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. When it starts melting and heating, pour the mix through a filter over the cooking dal and coconut milk.
- Let it heat for another 3 to 4 mins.
- In a small pan heat coconut oil, when hot add cashews.
- When they turn slight golden brown, add raisins let them pop.
- Once popped add it to the payasam.
- Stop and serve either hot or cold.
