Ingredients
  • Aval/Poha/Rice Flakes – 1 cup
  • Jaggery – ½ cup broken nicely ( Adjust as per your sweet taste level)
  • Milk – 1½ cup
  • Cardamon powder – 1 pinch
  • Ghee – ½ tbsp
  • Cashews, raisins – 10 ( as per your taste)
Instructions
  1. Heat a pan with ½ tbsp of ghee, fry the cashews till it is golden brown. Remove it and keep it separate.
  2. Fry the aval in the same pan and keep it separate.
  3. In the sam pan, boil milk. When it is boiling nicely, add the fried aval and cardoman powder. Cook it in medium flame till it is done.
  4. Add the jaggery to it. And mix well. Don’t boil them more than a minute or two as there are chances to curdle them.
  5. Top the payasam with the fried cashews ☺ Payasam is ready.
Notes
1. Jaggery amount is approximate, you can adjust as per your taste.
2. I did not have cashews, so just used raisins. You can us raisins with cashews when you fry them.
3. Do not boil the mixture after jaggery for more than two minutes, as there are chances to curdle them.
4. You can also grind the aval/poha before dropping them in hot milk.
