Gasagase payasam recipe with step by step pictures and video. Easy poppy seeds kheer one of the popular dish in Karnataka especially during festive seasons.
Long back when I saw this gasa gase payasam in the small recipe booklet it was new to me so had it bookmarked to try. I wanted to try and post a new payasam recipe for Tamil New Year and here I am with this Khus khus payasam.
This payasam has a unique flavour and taste when compared to our usual payasam recipes.
Summary:
To begin with first start by roasting raw rice and poppy seeds until golden.Set aside to cool then add little water and grind it to a paste, Set aside. Now add jaggery powder along with water, let it dissolve completely then strain to remove impurities. Add the jaggery water again to pan, then add poppy seeds paste and mix it well without any lumps.Let it boil for a good 10-15 mins, by the time it will get thick. At this stage fry cashews in ghee until golden and add it. Mix it well and switch off. The payasam thickens with time so switch it off a bit runny itself.
Variations:
- You can skip raw rice, instead roast 5 badam, cashew each and grind it along with poppy seeds.
- Adding milk at the end is optional as without milk itself it yields a creamy payasam. If adding add boiled, cooled milk.
