Parrupu Payasam, a delicious jaggery based kheer prepared from moong dal and javvarisi/sago. It's one of my favorite payasam since childhood, Amma makes this often at our home while we grew up and in our home we like this payasam more than the semiya/paal payasam.
Using moong dal/ Pasi Paruppu gives such a creamy consistency to this payasam and also adding ghee roasted coconut bits really enriches the payasam flavor. While having this payasam, bite of coconuts and nuts in betweens makes it totally scrumptious !!!
In this Paruppu Payasam, Amma always add few ghee roasted peanuts in addition to the coconuts and cashews, don't know whether it's authentic or not, but we kind of liked it that way, so now a days, even i too prefer adding peanuts in this payasam.
But if you are skeptical about adding peanuts in payasam, i totally understand that, you can skip that and make it. But trust me, the nutty taste from the peanuts goes really well with the dal,so give it a try once.

Notes:
- Dont over cook the moong dal.If it's too mushy, it won't taste good.
- You can add whatever nuts you want.
- I highly recommend to add coconut bits, it gives nice crunchiness to the payasam and also tastes great with moong dal.
- Add more or less of milk as per the consistency you like
