Hesarubele Payasa/Moongdal Payasam

This is a simple yet delicious payasam. It is made on festive occassions and devoured at home. My mother-in-law makes yummilicious payasam. On our trip to India hesarubele payasa, shavige chitranna, menthe menasu gojju of her is a must have for us :-) ..Here is her way of doing hesarubele payasa ..

You need the following :
Hesarubele/Dhuli moong dal/split mung beans without skin (scrol down to see the pic of dal) - 1cup
Jaggery
Mung beans : Jaggery Ratio 1:1 if you want it to be absolutely sweet..or else 1:1/2 works fine (this is what i do)
Cardamom powder : 1/2tsp
Ghee for frying dry fruits like raisins and cashews ..if you are using it
Coconut : 1/2 cup (use the same cup for measuring dal, jaggery and coconut)
Milk : 1 - 2 cups

1. Fry/Roast Hesarubele/Dhuli moong dal/split mung beans without skin with little ghee till they turn golden brown and a nice aroma emanates; here is how it looks after you fry them. Do not wash dal before you fry it. You can wash after frying it.

2. Add sufficiant water (1 cup dal:1.5 cups water) and pressure cook or cook it over stove top till they are completely cooked and still retains their shape. Pressure cooking dal will make them mushy.
3. Grind coconut and jaggery with cardamom powder to a fine paste.
4. Add this paste to cooked dal. Add more water/milk to make it little watery and let it boil for 2-3 mins.
5. Keep stirring or else payasam might stick to the bottom.
6. Add fried dried fruits and garnish. Serve hot.

This lota of payasam goes to Priti and Purva (would love to call them Psquare) for their theme based Festive Food event and this month's theme is 'Rakhshabandhan'

















Also this goes to Sheetal of My-Kitchen for her SWC-Karnataka Event

  17. Hello I love your blog as your recipes are very similar to mine .My mom is from mysore and I love all her recipes.
    notyet100 dahi wada is made from Urad dal/Uddina bele in kannada , Hesaru bele is Split Moong /Moong Dal .
    For the payasa I add a pinch of haldi brings out the colour beautiful, also one or two lavanga added to the payasa gives to flavour and u can reduce the bella. Another tip is u can add 1 tsp soaked gasgase to the coconut while grinding makes it creamy try the variations . I love this payasa since childhood my mom made this often. Also in Udupi/ some temple I they served they served this payasa made 1:1 ratio of Dal & rice it was absolutely delicious.
