    Masoor dal Payasam | Masoor dal Kheer | sago payasam | Javvarisi payasam | dal kheer | navaratri recipe | paruppu payasam rich and flavourful  Payasam/ kheer prepared with masoor dal, sago, and coconut milk. The pressure cooker makes it super fast. Perfect for any Indian festival, special occasion, party, etc.

    Healthy payasam

    When it comes to paruppu payasam, moong dal, and chana dal are frequently used for payasam, but this version, masoor dal is so delicious

    Should I cook masoor dal in a pressure cooker?

    For faster and more efficient cooking, I prefer cooking in a pressure cooker. Stovetop cooking might take longer, and a few dals might not cook well

    Should I soak dal and sabudana 

    Sautéing dal and sabudana makes it aromatic and helps with proper cooking. Soaking is optional

    Can I skip Saffron?

     It is optional, but saffron makes the payasam so flavorful

    Should I cook masoor dal and javvarisi in milk?

    I would recommend cooking in water. Using milk might not cook well

    Can I use evaporated milk for Payasam?

    Yes, use 1 cup of evaporated milk instead of 1 + 1/4 cup of milk. Make sure you dont boil for longtime 

    Should I filter jaggery?

    if you are doubtful about impurities in the jaggery I would recommend filtering the jaggery water  then add to the payasam else it might curdle.

    Can I use regular milk?

    Yes, you can replace regular milk with coconut milk. Regular or cow's milk; add only after boiling
