Its consistency and taste is more like Sweet pongal / Sakkarai pongal. This payasam is more popular in Kerala temples. This payasam is prepared using Kerala raw rice that looks light pink in color. It is called as Unakalari in Malayalam.

Traditionally Ari payasam is prepared in a big uruli but I used a pressure cooker to finish the job quickly. So you cannot achieve the authentic taste but its equally good. In Kerala, people make this payasam adding thin and thick coconut milk. But there is another version that uses ground coconut paste instead of coconut milk. I followed that recipe. Soon I will try to share the temple style authentic Sharkara payasam.

Now lets see this easy version of making Kerala style rice payasam with jaggery in a pressure cooker with step by step pictures.

People fondly call this Pesarattu as MLA Pesarattu as it is popular in the MLA head quarters in Hyderabad. Usually this Pesarattu is stuffed with plain rava upma and served with spicy and tangy Ginger chutney. Some people also spread onion, carrot and green chilli mixture over the dosa instead of stuffing upma in it.

Today I have shared a very simple recipe without any stuffing or topping as we like it that way. We simply need a tangy Allam pachadi to go with it. Basically Green gram is high in fibre and low in calories. So this Pesarattu dosa recipe would be ideal for people looking for weight loss. It also makes less bloating and gas when compared with other legumes. So anyone can easily consume it without any worries.
