Sabudana Moong Dal Payasam

Sabudana Moong Dal Payasam is a creamy payasam made with sago and moong dal. The moong dal makes it very creamy and this makes it a perfect sweet for any time.

As I was mentioning, payasams are often made at home, by varying the ingredients. So this time, we added moong dal to the sagubiyam payasam and it was so creamy. I had made it for the Sunday breakfast when I had made Archari Masala Poori. It surely made the brunch very filling and satisfying.

This is the last one in the Milk based Sweets that I have chosen to share for this week.
