Payasam is our family's favorite and I often make it.Most of the Fridays prasadam would be either payasam or kesari.
We are starting the Blogging Marathon#77 edition,sharing Vegan Sweets.Coming to vegan options of Indian sweets,coconut milk is a great substitute.
Today's recipe is a simple yet flavorful payasam made with channa dhal.This payasam needs only 10-15 minutes if the coconut milk is ready.
