- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup thick coconut milk
- 2 teaspoon ghee
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut pieces
- 4 whole cashews broken
Instructions
- Measure broken wheat, take a pressure cooker heat ghee and add broken wheat and roast for 3-5 mins.
- Add 2 cups of water and pressure cook for 4-5 whistles in low medium flame.
- Once pressure releases fluff it up and set aside.
- Heat jaggery syrup, add cooked broken wheat and let it simmer. First it will look seperated. Slowly it will mush up and blend well with jaggery syrup.
- Keep the flame in lowest flame possible and add milk. Keep stirring.
- Let it cook for another 8-10mins in low flame.
- Finally add coconut milk, ghee when it starts to boil switch off immediately.
- In a tadka pan add coconut pieces and fry till golden brown.
- Then fry cashews till golden and add both fried coconut and cashews to the payasam and mix well.
- Serve Gothambu Payasam hot / warm!
Notes
- Cook broken wheat until soft but not too mushy as we are cooking it again for sometime in milk and jaggery.
- You can even try this payasam with wheat rava.
- When milk is added to hot jaggery syrup there are chances for curdling so keep the flame in low then add milk.
- Adding coconut milk is not must but sure adds great flavour to the payasam.
- You can even add ghee fried raisins to the payasam.
