Mango & Moongdal Payasam

I never combined mango and moongdal together in payasam, when i choosed payasams or halwas as my 3rd week's theme of blogging marathon, the first thing came to my mind is to make a payasam out of this yummy combo. Yep guys here is going to be my third week of blogging marathon and stay tuned to watch out my next two posts under the theme payasams or halwas.Do check out the other marathoners running this 17th edition of blogging marathon here.

Coming to this mango and moongdal payasam, its quite an easy breezy dish gets ready in very less minutes. I used jaggery syrup for making this payasam,thats gives a fabulous taste and a wonderful colour to this dish. You can also use sugar but somehow i felt using jaggery as it gives a delicious taste to watever they are added. If you want to make a quick payasam when you have sudden visits or for a prasadams, this payasam will suits definitely for it.You can enjoy this payasam either warm or chilled, an addictive payasam to be enjoyed without any hesitation.Sending to Akila's Dish name starts with-M.
