HESARUBELE PAYASA……. authentic/original green gram lentil/moong dal payasa
Above in the heading I have written as authentic/original, that’s because in this particular payasa recipe, originally we don’t use either ghee, coconut or any kind of dry fruits & nuts, like we do in other payasa/kheer recipe, rather it is being made using only three ingredients ie… lentil, jaggery &milk. But now a days everyone is changing its originality by adding everything/anything. May be, that might also tastes nice but this is how it is originally/basically made. And we all at home like it particularly this way only.
During winter we tend to eat so many things/dishes which warms up our body to bear the cold weather. But too much heat is also not good, so to balance the body warmth very often we prepare this payasa. The below mentioned quantity of ingredients and the consistency is perfect for the recipe, but you can always increase/decrease the quantity of jaggery & milk according to need/taste.
