Besan Payasam - Serve this for New Year & everyone will thankyou for BadhamKheer ! Besan - 2 tbsp Ghee - 2 tbsp + 1 tsp Milk - 2 cups Sugar - ½ cup Cardamom powder - ½ tsp Cashewnuts, chopped - 1 tbsp Raisins - 1 tbsp Heat 2 tbsp ghee, roast besan on a low fire till a nice aroma comes. Remove & cool thoroughly. Add ½ cup water & mix well. Heat milk & when it starts boiling, add the besan mixture, stirring well to avoid lumps. When the besan has cooked well, simmer & add sugar. Stir on a low fire till sugar dissolves. Add cardamom powder & remove. Heat 1 tsp ghee, roast cashewnuts & raisins. Add to payasam . Cool & serve. This is very close to BadhamKheer in taste, if correctly made !
