Dates Payasam is a delicious, creamy dessert made by cooking grind dates in milk & flavoured with nuts. Dates Payasam is a nice alternate to the regular payasam and a treat for date lovers. Dates Payasam Recipe is explained in this post with step by step pictures.
There are days when I buy things and totally forget about it…..Last weekend when I saw a dates pack which was almost a month old I wanted to use it up immediately. As everyone at home loves desserts, I decided to make a quick dessert…..and it was dates payasam(dates kheer) for after meal dessert.Dates Kheer is a very healthy no sugar guiltfree dessert that you can make it in minutes…its so quick with minimal ingredients that is easily available in your kitchen. I didnt follow any particular recipe for making this kheer, just made my own adjustments and the kheer came out delicious that you can relish every spoon!
