Start by roasting the moong dal in ghee until it turns golden brown. This will give a nutty flavor to our payasam. Next, add water and let it cook until the dal is soft and mushy.

In a separate pan, melt jaggery with some water to make a syrup. Once it thickens, strain it to remove any impurities. This will be our sweetener for the payasam.
