KHARJURA PAYASAM
Preparation Time: 20 mins
Serves: 3
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped dates(seed less), 3 cup milk, 1/4 cup Sugar, 2tbsp Cashews, 1/4 tsp cardamom powder, 1tsp ghee
Method:
1. Cook the chopped dates in milk for about 6-7 mins.
2. Grind the mixture. Do not grind the dates completely. Few small bits of dates gives an amazing taste and texture.
3. Now add sugar to dates mixture and cook again for about 5 mins till the mixture thickens.
4. Heat ghee in small pan and fry cashews in it. Add them and cardamom powder to the payasam.
5. Serve hot or chilled :-)
By any chance, is this a preparation from the south of India ?
ReplyDeleteThere was something called 'payas' at a South Indian wedding I'd been to recently...
