Green Gram Porridge

Dessert: Moong Pāyasam

Roast green gram (split) in clarified butter (ghee) till it turns golden brown.  Add about a litre of water and cook.  After it is cooked add pieces of jaggery and milk and cook again. Keep stirring and cook till the concentration turns into a thick liquid. Usually only cardamom powder is added to this Pāyasam. But if you like you can prepare the Garnishing and decorate the dish. It tastes better when it is cooled and served.
