Servings3
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon raw rice
- 3/4 cup jaggery
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1 and 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon ghee
- 2 tablespoon broken cashews
Instructions
- To begin with first start by roasting raw rice and poppy seeds until golden. Set aside to cool.
- Add it along with coconut and little water.
- Grind it to a paste like this. Set aside.
- To a sauce pan add jaggery along with water.
- Heat it up until jaggery dissolves completely.
- Strain to remove impurities if any.
- Pour back strained jaggery syrup and add the poppy seeds paste to it.
- Mix it well without any lumps.Let it boil for a good 10-15 mins.
- It will thicken by this time.
- Heat ghee in a tadka pan - add broken cashews fry until golden.
- Add fried cashews along with cardamom powder to the payasam.
- Mix it well. Payasam thickens with time so switch off a bit runny itself.
- Enjoy Khus Khus Kheer!
Notes
- Once cooled payasam thickens so adjust consistency with boiled cooled milk.
- I used 3/4 cup jaggery powder which was apt but if you prefer you can add 1 cup jaggery.
- You can replace jaggery with sugar too but I prefer the jaggery version as it tastes best.
