According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Hello Shaan, Cherupayar Payasam is a very tasty Kerala dessert like Ada pradaman. I like both, I think as you said in the tips, second and third extract of coconut milk maybe good instead of water. Thanks for this super tasty dessert.

Great!! Your recipes are in authentic Kerala style! This is one of my favorite payasam… My grandma’s recipe is the same…
Tip from her: She adds 1/2 kadalippazham (nicely mashed) after adding thick coconut milk (first extract of coconut milk) to enhance the taste and take away the bland taste of cherupayar.

    Hi Rajitha, Thank you very much for the tip and also for taking time to share it here. Hope it will benefit other who is going to prepare cherupayar payasam.

Thanku you Shaan for tip, but when I cooked mug beans in coconut extract, need long time for cooked. I was so desperate.

Thanku Shaan.I like Kerla dishes.

Thanks Shaan, for this tasty payasam. You must write the method of preparing in Malayalam also.

    You are welcome Suma. Thanks feedback and also for the suggestion.

Hi Shaan, I appreciate you to your passion for cooking and food. I have two kids- boys. My elder son aged 10, he is also like you. One suggestion for your cherupayar payasam ie, after cooking cherupayar, fry it in ghee few minutes for sweet smell and taste, then add jaggery and continue your methods.

    Beena, Thank you very much for the tip and also for your good words of encouragement. Say my Hi to your son 🙂

Hi, Shaan its great to have a IT professional in this Payasam corner. Your recipe is simple and sweet, this time I will try this for Onam. Instead of coconut milk can I use milk?

    Mini, Thanks for the feedback. Do not add milk in cherupayar payasam, it will curdle as we are adding jaggery in it. So add only coconut milk.

Hi Shaan, I am from Malaysia. I have tasted Kerala payasam before but didn’t had the chance to try to cook. Tx for sharing the recipe.

    Uma Maheswary, Thank you very much for taking time to share your comment here. Hope Cherupayar Payasam will turned out good for you. Please share your experience.

Hi Shaan, the payasam tasted so delicious. Tx again for sharing. I am going to prepare the payasam again this weekend and I plan to replace the coconut milk to condense milk. Hope it turn out well.

    Uma, really glad to know that you love this cherupayar payasam very much. We can not use normal milk as an alternative to coconut milk. As we are adding Jaggery, the milk will curdle. So I am not sure about adding condense milk.

Dear Shaan, As per your profile you said you have the habit to taste the different food on travel. How you maintained your health? Your recipes are super.

    Meera, Tough question 🙂 I always go for varieties but quantity will be very less. Always health conscious 🙂

Thanks for the recipe. Can we use whole mung bean instead of split??

    Femina, I haven’t tried it with whole mung bean. But I think it will work out well.

Wow, I really like to drink payasam especially ada payasam and parippu payasm, u r recipe is very interesting, Sure I will try u r recipe this Onam. Thanks.

    Dr. Madhu, Glad to know that you love payasam very much. Waiting for your feedback, Happy Onam in advance.
