Kadala Parippu Payasam is a traditional Kerala dessert made with roasted split Bengal gram (kadala parippu), jaggery, coconut milk, and ghee. It has a rich, thick texture and a deep caramel-like sweetness from the jaggery. The payasam is often garnished with roasted coconut pieces, cashews, and raisins. It is commonly served during festive occasions and traditional feasts like Onam and Vishu in Kerala.
