Healthy Whole Green Moong Kheer/Payasam and Participation Award from ShamaNagarajan

You might have noticed that I use very less sugar or no sugar in my sweet recipes.I use dates,honey or other fruits to sweeten my dishes.In today's recipe I used Agave Nectar.I never heard about it before until I came across this nectar in Gita's recipes.So I wanted to try this in my kheer recipe.It tasted very good without leaving any after taste on the tounge.I came across moong kheer in different blogs and everyone had a unique touch of their own in the recipes.Today's recipe is my version of a very simple and easy to make kheer with whole green moong daal.

I made this when we had friend's come over for dinner.I could not take step by step pictures but sure am going to explain it in steps.We all enjoyed the kheer and hope you would too.We enjoyed second servings too.

Place a heavy-bottomed pan on the stove on medium heat and pour the milk in it and let it boil.

Once the milk reaches boiling point add the cooked moong to it and reduce the heat and slow cook for 10 minutes so that the milk turns golden in color.

Meanwhile in a pan add the ghee and fry the cashews and raisins till golden in color and switch off.

Now add the agave nectar and cardamom powder to the kheer and stir well.Finally garnish with cashews and raisins and turn off the stove.
