Didnt post any recipes for quite some time. I have some in my drafts but deleted the photos of the dishes, so will have to wait for some more time to make them again and post it :-)
Today i have a sweet dish from my side to you all - Parippu Pradhaman
Its really very simple and few ingredients, yet this is the first time that i am making it

Water - 1 1/2 cup

Jaggery - 400 gms (adjust to your taste level)
Water - 1/2 cup

Coconut Milk Lite (Randampaal) - 1.25 cup
Coconut Milk Thick (Onnampal) - 1/2 cup
Copra / Coconut pieces sliced thinly - 1/4 cup
Cashew - few
Ghee - 1 tbsp

Take a pressure cooker and dry roast the dal for a minute. Now add the water and let it cook for 3 -4 whistles
Meanwhile melt the Jaggery with the water mentioned, filter and keep aside

Once the dal is cooked and done, mash the dal with your spatula and add the melted jaggery and the cardamom pod. Let it boil for 5-6 mins

Switch off the heat and then add the thick coconut milk and mix it well.
