This is a superb desert recipe (adapted to millets from my mother’s payasam recipe) and very healthy to boot. Although I made it with moong daal, you could try it with other daals or even other millets! I like this Foxtail Millet Payasam with a good amount of raisins and cashews.

This Foxtail Millet Payasam is an ideal desert after a light meal since it is filling and rich.
