Senaga pappu payasam recipe | Channa dal kheer | Chana dal payasam

By swasthi , on May 31, 2019, 12 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Senaga pappu payasam or channa dal kheer – a festive kheer recipe. We at my mom’s house, make this on one of the navratris to offer to goddess. 3 main ingredients that go towards the making of this kheer are offered together in some form on one of these 9 days. The ingredients are channa dal, jaggery and coconut.

We make either this senaga pappu payasam or Poornam boorelu (with coconut and dal) or a sweet dish made of the same ingredients similar to pancha kajjaya. Those who do not have any such custom of offering these 3 ingredients can slightly modify the list of ingredients and can make this payasam at your ease and choice by adding sabudana or rice.

Preparation for channa dal kheer

1. Wash channa dal well. You can also soak for 45 minutes to reduce the cooking time.

2. This step is optional. Some sago needs to be soaked for longer. Some can be cooked instantly. So follow according to your sago. I cook instantly and it gets cooked well.

3. Add 1/2 cup water to jaggery and melt it on a low flame.

4. Filter the jaggery syrup to remove impurities.

5. Boil the jaggery syrup on a low to medium flame for 2 to 3 mins or till it thickens slightly. Do not burn it.

6. Set this aside to cool completely. You can transfer this to a small bowl and cool it by keeping the bowl in ice cold water. This way it cools quickly

Instructions

Preparation for senaga pappu payasam

Notes

If you wish to use rice in place of sago, soak both for 45 mins, cook dal rice together in milk till both are fully cooked, then add the cooled jaggery syrup.
If you add hot jaggery syrup to the kheer, it will curdle, so cool it completely before you pour to the boiling kheer
