Default Puri Payasam - my invention, by accident !

Puri Payasam:

Wheat flour - 1 cup

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Water to knead the above

Milk - 1 litre

Sugar - 1 cup ( more to taste)

Vanilla flavoured custard powder - 1 tbsp

Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Nutmeg powder - 1 tsp

Saffron - ¼ tsp (warm & powder)

Edible camphor (Pachai karpooram0 - 2,3 granules ( powder)

Knead wheat flour, adding ghee & water to a dough.

Keep 4-5 cups water to boil in a broad vessel.

Make chappathis, as thin as possible, with the dough.

Cut into small squares & add to the vigorously boiling water.

Repeat the process till the entire dough is used up.

Halfway through, if the water is not sufficient, boil some water separately & add.

Meanwhile boil milk, reserving 1 cup, in another stove.

Add the custard powder to the cold milk, mix well & add to the boiling milk, stirring continuously, to avoid lumps.

To the cooked puris add sugar & simmer well to dissolve.

Mix the milk to the above, mix well, add spices & remove.

Garnish with nuts.

Chill & serve.
