This payasam is usually made in Tamil Nadu as an offering on festival days. This is made for weddings also – poha & wheat rawa are optional. Rice ( preferably thin variety) - ¼ cup Gram dhal - ¼ cup Moong dhal - ¼ cup Aval ( poha) - ¼ cup Wheat rawa - ¼ cup Jaggery - 2 ½ cups Milk - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 1 tsp Cashew chopped - 2 tbsp Raisins - 2 tbsp Ghee - 4 tsp Roast dry the first 5 ingredients, individually in a dry kadai. Mix , wash & add with 4 cups of water in a pressure pan. Cook for 2 whistles. Cool & open,. Meanwhile mix jaggery with ½ cup of water in a vessel & heat to dissolve on a low fire. Boil for 5 mts. Strain & add to the pressurepan contents. Booil well for 5 mts, add cardamom powder & remove. Add milk, after removing from fire & stir continuously for a few mts. Heat ghee, roast cashews & raisins & add to payasam. Poha & wheat rawa can be omitted & the payasam can be made with rice & dhals only. Adjust the amount of water & jaggery suitably. dhal payasam.JPG
