Cheru Payar Parippu Payasam/pradhaman (Split Green Gram Dessert/ Moong Daal Kheer)

Cheru Payar Parippu Payasam/pradhaman (Split Green Gram Dessert) is tasty and healthy Kerala dessert. Normally we prepared this dish for Onam/Vishu (Kerala Feasts) celebrations.

This year we already celebrated Vishu with a great and delicious Sadya (Kealalities vegetarian meal).This recipe was also part of that great Vishu Sadya and the Cheru Payar Parippu Pasyasam/Pradhaman (Split Green Gram Dessert) and its recipe was shared to me by my sweet friend and elder sister Deepa chechi. She is a wonderful cook, great poet, designer, a good artist, mom entrepreneur and a great person with a childlike heart. Thanks chechi for your wonderful Cheru Payar Payasam/pradhaman (Split Green Gram Dessert) and recipe.:-) and thanks my dear friends and families for your great support, love and inspiration.

    Thanks Rani for the Recipe of Cherupayar Payasam…
    I already knew how to make this Cherupayar payasam but I was stuck with a doubt in it. Is it fair adding Cow’s milk in it ? I heard people saying…” pashuvin paalu pirinjupokum ” since we make the payasam with Jaggery.

    • Rani Vijoo says

      Hi George, with my short experience in cooking I have not noticed any such bad incidents 😉 Most of the time I prepared my payasam’s with fresh cow’s milk and coconut milk. I learned it from my mother in law. She is a good ” ada Pradhaman maker”. Normally I used melted jaggery in water and lighten its strong taste. Thanks for your comment and support 🙂 Happy Vishu 🙂
      Take care
