Coconut milk 2 cups - thin milk
Cardamom powder ½ sp

Method:
Cut the fruit into small pieces.
Cook them in Coconut thin milk.
Till they become slight pink.
Add powdered jaggery and mix well.
Allow it to cook.
Now add Coconut’s first milk. That is thick milk and mix well.

It is kerela preparation; tastes great.

Generally we drink 'ela neer and eat the valukai'. Instead of that use the 'valukai' (tender coconut) to make payasam. It is a good payasam. Prepare this and send your comments.

Ingredients:
Finely chopped tender coconut 1 cup
Sugar 2 cups
Coconut milk 1 cup
Full cream milk 2 cup
Cardamom powder 1/2 sp

Method:

Just boil the milk by adding sugar for about 10 - 15 mins.
Add the finely chopped tender coconut pieces and bring it to a boil.
Remove it from the fire and add coconut milk.
Mix well and keep it in fridge.
Serve chill.

DEar Krishnamma,

Your recipes look very delicious. .Actually my Mom has gone on a pilgrimage and she is the one who always prepares Payasums. I was missing it .Especially Adda Pradaman and Chakka Vertiye Payasum, Now I guess I can try a few of your recipes and also share them with Mom when she comes.
Thankyou so much..

Devika

Dear Devika,

for your post. Try the recipes and give me a Feed Back. I think you will make your mother happy. All the Best!

Dear Sumathy,

I was looking at all your payasam recipes today and they all look yummy. I will try the easy (cooked rice + cashew) payasam and post a FB soon. These days in Trivandrum, they serve boondi payasam for the engagement dinner during a marriage. Can you post that recipe, if possible? Thanks.

affly
Vidya
