PARUPPU THANNI VS PARUPPU PAYASAM

Serving size - 2 or 3


Preparation time - 5 minutes


Cooking time - 20 to 25 minutes






Paruppu thanni is an important nivedham for Lord Muruga. He is an ardent lover of Paruppu thanni. So, on the day of Karthigai, this nivedham is very essential to get all the blessings from the God Muruga.  In certain homes, they use to do Paruppu thanni for every Karthigai. But some will do this only on the day of big Karthigai ( Karthgai star falls on the month of Karthigai which is consider as big Karthigai). I made Paruppu thani on last year's big kathigai. But it was on the draft list for more than 6 months. Today only I have edited my pictures :) How soon I am updating ??? :)

I will try to upload paruppu payasam's picture soon. I am searching that picture but yet to get.

Let us see the difference between paruppu thani and paruppu payasam !!!! 


Ingredients



Moong dal - 1/4 cup
Water - 3/4 cup  (Pressure cook)
Water - 1/2 or 3/4 cup (After Pressure cook)
Milk - 1/2 cup (Optional)
Ghee - 1/2 tsp
Cashews - 3 or 4

Method 


PARUPPU THANNI


Fry Moong dal in a medium flame for few minutes. Don't burn it, once the aroma has come you can remove it from the flame.

Pressure cook moong dal and 3/4 cup of water for 3 whitsles.

Once you remove it from the pressure cooker, add remaining water according to the consistency you want.

Heat ghee in  a pan and fry cashews.

Garnish Paruppu thanni with fried cashews and serve it to God.


PARUPPU PAYASAM



Follow all the steps in the same order under the heading paruppu thanni.

Instead of adding water after pressure cook, add 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of water. x

It will be bit richer than Paruppu thanni.
