It is time for sweets here on Happiest Ladies. The occasion is 100 posts!!!! Yes, this is the 100^th post, and so Green Gram Payasa for all of you. :). 

What is Payasa?

Payasa is Indian dessert. A sweet dish which comprises mainly of jaggery syrup and coconut milk. The base for the payasa is cooked in dilute coconut milk. Here, the base is green gram/ moong dal/ hesaru bele.

Ingredients:

• Green gram 2 cups
• One full coconut.
• Jaggery 2 cups
• Cashew pieces, cardamom powder, cloves.
• A pinch of salt.

Dessert Recipe:

• Soak green gram in water and keep aside.
• Grate one whole coconut and grind it in mixer with some water.
• Pour the grinded coconut on a sieve and extract the milk. This is concentrated coconut milk.
• Now add some more water to the residue of the grinded coconut and squeeze out the milk. This is diluted coconut milk.

• Now, in a vessel add the green gram and diluted coconut milk and boil over low flame.
• When the green gram is half boiled, add jaggery and continue boiling over low flame.
• In between, add cashew pieces, cardamom powder and cloves.

• When the green gram is completely boiled, add the concentrated coconut milk and heat for just about a minute and put off the flame.
• Then add a pinch of salt to remove the suppleness of the payasa.

Top the payasa with a few drops of homemade ghee before serving.

So, enjoy the payasa on the occasion of 100^th post on Happiest Ladies. :)
