Pictorial
Heat a tsp of ghee in a cooker.Add moong Dhal to it and fry it till it nice aroma comes.

Now add water and close the lid of the cooker.Wait for 3 whistles.

Once the pressure goes off open the lid and add jaggery,pinch of salt and elachi powder to it and mix it well.(I used Country sugar/Nattu sakkarai here)

Fry cashew nuts,raisins and finely chopped coconut in ghee and add it to the moong dhl mixture.

Now add milk to get the required payasam consistency and serve.

Note-
Don`t add too much cashews or raisins as it changes the traditional taste.
Fry coconut in ghee and then add to the payasam.It gives an excellent flavour.
Add ghee as per your taste but use atleast  minimum 2 tsp otherwise it won`t taste good.
