Chana Dal Sabudana Kheer | Senaga Pappu Saggubiyyam Payasam | Kadalai Paruppu Javvarisi Paysam | Kadale Bele Sabakki Payasa | Godshe
Chana Dal Sabudana Kheer with Jaggery is a flavorful, easy-to-make, and delicious sweet or pudding recipe prepared during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or even during fasting, upvas, and vrat days.
Shravan Month or Saavn, is the holiest month in the Hindu calendar, and all the Hindu festivals start this month. The year's second half is filled with festivals starting from Nagar Panchami, Vara Laxmi Vratam, Krishna Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Teej Rakhi, Navratri to Diwali.
Some traditional recipes are a must during these festivals, and for some, you can bring in new variations. So the more sweet recipes you master, the better it is.
Chana Dal Kheer, also known as Madgane or Mangane, a popular and traditional recipe from Konkani cuisine Goan or Coastal Karnataka (Mangalore, Udupi region), is already on my blog. This payasa is made in two ways. One uses chana dal and rice, and the second method uses chana dal and sabudana (sago or tapioca).
Both ways of preparing chana dal kheer are my favorite. If you do not like adding rice or sabudana, you can skip it and simply make chana dal kheer (lentil kheer). Even this tastes equally good.
Ingredients
½ cup Chana Dal or Split chickpea
½ cup Sabudana or Tapioca pearls
2 ½ to 3 cups Water
1 ½ cups Coconut milk
¾ to 1 cup Jaggery
¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
1 tablespoon Ghee
1 tablespoon Cashews
1 tablespoon Raisins
How to make Chana Dal Sabudana Kheer with Jaggery
Soak chana dal and sabudana separately in water for 3 to 4 hours. Soaking reduces cooking time significantly.
I generally pressure cook chana dal in 2 ½ cups water for 3 whistles. One on high flame, and two on medium flame. Once the pressure releases naturally, open the cooker, add the sabudana, and cook until it comes to boil and the sabudana becomes soft.
Add coconut milk and bring it to a boil. Keep stirring. I prepare fresh coconut milk at home. You can use fresh coconut milk extracted at home or store-bought coconut milk in this recipe. Finally, add jaggery and simmer for 5 minutes. Full video recipe on kheer | payasa | payasam
Meanwhile, heat the ghee in another pan. Add cashews, and when it turns golden brown add raisins and switch off the flame.
Add cardamom powder and the roasted nuts from above to the kheer, mix, and switch off the flame.
Tips
- Kheer or Payasam thickens as it cools down. You can adjust it to desired consistency with water or milk.
- Vary the amount of jaggery as per taste.
- You can vary the ratio of chana dal and sabudana as desired.
- Depending on the thickness of the coconut milk, the amount of water you may need may be more or less.
- Adding nuts is optional. You can substitute cashews with almonds (badam) or pistachios.
Can I make kheer or payasam vegan?
To make this kheer vegan, skip roasting nuts in ghee. Instead, dry roast the nuts and add them to the kheer. This kheer is also dairy-free and gluten-free.

How do you serve kheer or payasam?
Kheer is traditionally served as a dessert in a multicourse meal. Kheer can be served hot, warm, or cold, but I generally prefer hot kheer when prepared using jaggery and coconut milk.
How to store chana dal sabudana kheer or payasam?
If you bring it to a boil and store it correctly, you can keep it at room temperature for 8 to 12 hrs. For longer shelf life, please bring it to room temperature and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, depending on the consistency of the kheer, add water and warm it up until heated.
