Aval - 1 cup (thick/thin variety) - I used thick here
Milk - 2.5 cups
Powdered Jaggery - 1/4 cup
Grated Coconut - 1 tbsp grated (optional)
Elachi powder - 1/2 tsp
Cashews broken - 1/2 tbsp
Ghee - 1 tsp
Method:
- Heat ghee and fry the cashews till golden brown.In the remaining ghee roast coconut until slightly browned and keep aside.Soak aval in water for 5-7mins or until the aval becomes soft. Drain water and keep aside.
- Heat milk in a non stick/heavy bottomed pan and simmer for 5 mins. By now the milk would have become slightly thick.Now add powdered jaggery, elachi powder and mix until jaggery is well combined.
- Now add coconut and cashews , mix well.Then add aval and simmer for another 5mins. Switch off. Serve hot or cold.
Serve hot or cold. It gets thickened while resting, so add in more milk while serving or as per your preference.
My Notes:
- I used thick aval so soaking for 5-7 mins was required. If you use thin variety then soak only for 3-5 mins else it will become mushy.
- This payasam becomes thick after sometime so take it off in a running consistency. Add milk at the time of serving if required.
- You can add 1 tbsp of condensed milk to make this payasam even more rich and creamy.
- It thickens with time so switch of accordingly.
Wishing you all, the best in this tamil varudapirappu and always. See you all soon on Monday with another recipe from my kitchen :)
