Paripu Payasam (kp) (split Pea Sweet With Coconut Milk)

Peter knew a sounder basis for faith than that of signs and wonders. He had seen our Lord Jesus Christ receive honor and glory from God the Father in the holy mount; he had been dazzled and carried out of himself by visions and voices from heaven; but, nevertheless, even when his memory and heart are throbbing with recollections of that sublime scene, he says, “We have something surer still in the prophetic word.”… It was not the miracles of Christ by which he came to know Jesus, but the word of Christ as interpreted by the Spirit of Christ.

INSTRUCTIONS

Source: Sephardic Cooking by Copeland Marks from Cochin India  Wash the
beans and boil with the water until it evaporates and the  beans are
just about mush. (The recipie says 20min - but mine took  longer- but I
am learning a new stove) Mix in everything else (except  coconut
garnish), bring to a boil and then simmer 15 minutes. Serev  hot,
topped with the sauteed coconut.  I would like to thank everyone for
the product help. I will have my  mom look for them. Since I couldn't
find any hexsured coconut milk  here I used Coffee Rich and mixed in
coconut extract until it tasted  right. Last night is the first time I
made this. It tasted great, it  is very sweet and fairly sticky - a
little like a custard.  One last note, if you don't use Cardamon and
need to buy some be  warned, it is very expensive $9-$11 (US) for a
bottle.  Posted to JEWISH-FOOD digest by Lori <lori@vt.edu> on Sep 15,
