    This look so rich and delicious.. I made it only once and used dairy milk in it. addition of coconut milk must have added a nutty flavour to this moong dal kheer(as I will like to call it:) )

    Paruppu payasam looks so delicious Sujata. Must admit, I haven’t tried making this awesome dessert at home. Adding coconut milk is a good suggestion as that would make it even more flavorful.

    An absolute favorite of mine .
    As per old granny’s tips.. whenever jaggery is used for any paysam , coconut milk is the best combination and for sugar based paysam , diary milk needs to be used. Ever since I have learnt of this , I follow this tip religiously. You too have done 100% justice to the paysam and it looks super rich and creamy 🙂

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
