Nungu Payasam Recipe | Palm Fruit Kheer Recipe
Nungu Payasam is a creamy dessert made by simmering milk then adding palm fruit, sugar and nuts. It is simple to prepare but tastes very rich and festive for any occasion. The soft nungu pieces in chilled sweet milk make every spoonful very refreshing. This payasam is usually made during summer when palm fruits are available in abundant.
Servings2 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 6 nos nungu
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- 3 nos badam chopped finely
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Take milk in a sauce pan, boil then simmer for 5mins.
- Take the palm fruit, peel off the outer skin. Now mash 3 nungu with a spoon.
- Chop the rest 3 into cubes. Take boiled milk, add cane sugar to it.
- Cook for few mins until cane sugar dissolves. Simmer for 5mins. Cool down then refrigerate the milk.
- Now add mashed nungu first, then add chopped pieces and mix well.
- Finally add chopped badam and cardamom powder, give a quick stir and serve Nungu Payasam.
Notes
- Simmer milk – I usually boil and simmer milk for few minutes. It gives slight thickness and rich, creamy taste.
- Cooling – I let the milk cool completely, Do not add nungu to very hot milk. It may change texture, so let milk cool first.
- Adjust sweetness – I taste milk after sugar dissolves. Some may prefer little more sweetness.
- Nungu – I usually prefer fresh fruit for better flavor and soft texture. If you have hard nungu then pulse it in mixer and add it.
- Chill before serving – I just prefer refrigerating for some time. Cold payasam tastes more refreshing.
