Payasam's are always traditional and bring a divine taste and health benefits. We, Indians believe in the goodness when milk boils up during the preparation of a payasam or kheer, as it brings in prosperity and happiness to the home. 
Its said that having payasam or kheer at the end of a meal aids in many health benefits. 
Out of the numerous ways to prepare this, Pappu or Dal style is one among the amazing flavors.

- Cashews & Kishmish / Dried Raisins - Handful each
- Ghee - 2- 3 tbsps
- Grated coconut or coconut pieces - 3/4 cup

2. Boil the milk and add jaggery. The jaggery should melt completely melt.
Take out little milk seperately in a small cup to mix with rice flour.
*Dissolve jaggery in water and then filter the liquid, this avoids the breaking of milk if your jaggery is little salty.
