Pumpkin Payasam

Today I prepared this tasty payasam for saraswathi pooja. I wanted to prepare the dessert which is very simple and fast. So here's the recipe:



Ingredients:
Yellow pumpkin cubes - 1 1/2 cup (without skin)
Moong dal - 1/4 cup
Amul full cream milk - 500 ml
Jaggery - 1/2 cup (powdered) or as per taste
Ghee - 1 tsp.
Cashew nuts - 12 to 14
Raisins - 10 to 12
Green cardamom powder - 2 pinches

Method:
Pressure cook pumpkin and moong dal with milk for 3 - 4 whistles.
When the pressure releases, puree the pumpkin and dal with a hand blender.
Roast the cashewnuts and raisins.
Pour a half cup of water to the jaggery and melt. Bring it to a boil. Remove the impurities. Pour the jaggery syrup to the pureed pumpkin. Add the roasted nuts and raisins. Mix cardamom powder. The
payasam is ready.

Note:
Adjust the jaggery according to your tastes.
