Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

    To roast and grind:

    • ¼ cup (2 tbsp aval)
    • 1 tbsp cashew nuts

    To garnish:

    • 1 tbsp ghee
    • 1 tbsp cashew nuts
    • 1 tsp dry grapes (optional)

    For payasam/kheer:

    • 2 tbsp ghee
    • 1 cup aval/poha/beaten rice
    • 2 cups water
    • 3 cups boiled milk (750ml)
    • ½ tsp cardamom powder
    • 8 tbsp sugar
    • 1 pinch salt (optional)

    Instructions
     

    Preparation:

    • Boil milk and keep aside.
    • Chop cashew nuts into small pieces.

    Recipe to prepare Aval payasam:

    • First in a pan, dry roast 2 tablespoons of Aval/rice flakes and 1 tablespoon of cashew nuts for 5 minutes in low flame.
    • Be careful not to burn the rice flakes just we need to make the Aval and cashews crisp.
    • Now remove from the pan and make it as a powder, keep aside.
    • In the same pan heat a tablespoon of ghee and fry cashews until golden brown color and keep them aside for garnishing.
    • Now in big kadai and heat the remaining ghee.
    • Add a cup of Poha and start frying in medium heat. Again here we are not going to roast them until they become hard, just light browning is enough.
    • Pour 2 cups of water to cook the rice flakes and keep it covered for 5 minutes.
    • Cook Aval until they become soft but not mushy. The shape of rice flakes should be retained.
    • After around 5 minutes Aval absorbs all the water.
    • Now add boiled thick milk and mix.
    • Add the ground Aval, cashew powder into the milk and mix well to avoid lumps. This powder gives a thick body to the kheer/payasam.
    • Let the milk come to a boil nicely and by this time the powder is cooked and payasam thickens.
    • Add sugar according to your taste. For this measurement, I added 8tbsp sugar.
    • Again wait for 5 minutes until payasam gets a nice texture.
    • Sprinkle cardamom powder for fragrance.
    • Finally, add the fried cashews and dry grapes. As my kids don't like dry grapes I didn't use.
    • Serve hot as a snack or energetic breakfast. You can serve this chilled as a yum dessert. Also, this is an easy and quick prasadam recipe during festive occasions.

    Notes

    Tips: 1. If you use red Aval or big flat flakes, make sure to cook until soft. 2. You can use brown sugar or jaggery powder instead of white sugar.
