I was wondering about the menu i should be preparing for Diwali and as you know no feast is complete without dessert.In traditional south indian meal during any festivity Payasam is a must.And my MIL always says when offering to GOD jaggery based payasam is considered auspicious.I made a small amount of kadala paruppu and payatham paruppu mixed payasam during my visit to parent’s house last month and am planning to make this for diwali menu.This is a channa dal and moong dal based payasam and is prepared during Avani avittam festival and Navaratri too.
