About Parupu payasam

Parupu Payasam is a traditional South Indian sweet dish, originating from Tamil Nadu. This dessert is made using moong dal (yellow lentils), jaggery, coconut milk, and a blend of aromatic cardamom, cashews, and raisins, which are sautéed in ghee for added richness. Parupu Payasam is often served during festivals, weddings, or special occasions, embodying the essence of Tamil cuisine. Rich in protein and fiber from moong dal, it provides energy while supporting digestion. Jaggery, a natural sweetener, contains trace minerals, making it a healthier alternative to refined sugar. Coconut milk adds creamy texture and healthy fats, while ghee, consumed in moderation, offers fat-soluble vitamins. However, the dessert can be high in calories and sugars, so portion control is key for maintaining balance. Parupu Payasam is beloved for its warm, comforting flavors and symbolic presence in celebratory meals.
