How to cook payatham Paruppu?
When it comes to making this Paruppu Payasam some prefer not so mushy dal but fully cooked mushy moong dal is how we do Paruppu Payasam in our home. Some people prefer sauting the dal and cooking it for not so Mushy dal but since we prefer perfectly cooked mushy Payasam I skip it. I have used cow’s milk for creamy Payasam but coconut milk can be used instead for a touch of Kerala. My first lengthy post after a year:-) Time is moving is fast. It looks like I have just started my blogging journey but its a year now:-) After taking a break from the IT industry for one year I always wanted to do something during my free time but kept passing my time with the food networks, browsing, chatting, cooking, and of course eating. Things changed after my son was born. Though I became busy with him, I missed doing something for myself and that’s when hubby suggested doing blogging. My blogging journey started when my son was 6 months old. Being a lazy person, initially, when I started writing I thought it won’t continue for a long time, but continuous support from my close ones kept me motivated:-) I am not a great cook, nor a great photographer, nor a great writer but my lovely reader and dear blog friends taught me those are not absolutely essential. Thank u all for visiting, reading, and commenting in my space. It traditionallymodernfood.com from now on 🙂 changing to .com was a big discussion for quite some time in our home. Ever since I started blogging hubby was insisting to change it but I kept postponing. At one stage he convinced me and I discussed this with some of my good friends but somehow I felt will do it later. Today I got a pleasant blog Anniversary SPL gift from my Hubby 🙂 . Evening my hubby pinged me my blog URL in WhatsApp I was surprised to see .com instead of .wordpress.com. Have to work on importing the contents. Maybe when I do my next post it should be ready 🙂 Paruppu Payasam Paruppu payasam is one of the most common payasam prepared during many festivals.
