Notes:
- Only a small quantity of moong dal, will give 4 to 5 tumblers of Payasam, since we are adding rice to it.
- While adding the grinded rice and coconut paste into the dal, stir well while adding so as to avoid the formation of the cramps.
- Instead of the coconut and rice mix, you can add the coconut alone.
- As already jaggery has salt in it, if at all needed you just add the salt to the moong dal.
- Instead of jaggery, you can also add the sugar as well.
- Moong dal, will turn to be of thicker consistency once getting cooled. Thus you can add some milk and sugar for taste and it give more taste to the dish!
