Kadalai Paruppu Payasam / Channa Dhal Kheer

It was not an occasion or a party. Just felt like making something special on an evening.  An easy and quick dessert with split Bengal gram, Kadalai Paruppu came to my  mind. Split Bengal Gram,  a healthy lentil which digests easily and is rich in fibers.
Once my mom told this recipe for making an easy prasadam for navarathri golu.
With very less ingredients, the payasam tasted delicious.
