Kerala parippu payasam

Kerala Parippu pradhaman payasam for sadhya. This traditional sweet payasam is prepared using split mung beans/pasi paruppu/ pesara pappu/ cherupayar paruppu. Are you wondering what's the difference between our Andhra pesara pappu payasam and this Kerala cherupayar payasam?? I will explain you, their texture and color are different. Yes it's true that both payasam tastes super delectable. This Kerala parippu payasam is thick in texture and is prepared using coconut milk. And we use dark color jaggery to get traditional look and taste. While preparing this payasam i used regular jaggery so i did not get that dark color.
