Aval
Payasam/Rice Flakes Payasam/Poha Payasam is
a very simple payasam made with aval and milk. It is lord Krishna’s favorite
and I make it during Krishna Jayanthi and many other occasions. It is
especially served in Guruvayur as prashad to everybody. It is our families all
time favorite payasam.

Method
Take
rice flakes/aval in a bowl, add water soak for about 3-5 min and squeeze out
all the water and keep it aside.
In a
pan heat ghee, add cashew nuts sauté until light golden color, add raisins and sauté
for 20 sec. Keep it aside.
In a
thick bottomed pan boil the milk, add the squeezed aval. It cooks in about 2 to
3min. Now add sugar, cardamom powder, coconut milk, fried cashews, raisins
along with the ghee. Let it boil for another 5 to 7 min.
Yummy
Aval/Riceflakes payasam is ready to be
enjoyed.
Suggestions:
You can
roast the aval and add it milk, instead of soaking in water.
Instead
of sugar you can add jaggery which is also very delicious.
You can
skip adding coconut milk as well replace it with whole milk.

Hey ka,lovely payasam..I tried at home n achieved the exact end result like urs in the photo when I switched off the stove..was Soo tempting but v didn't taste at tat time since v wanted to offer for prayers..but after tat,when I served the payasam became thicker but tasted good ;) so,is tat normal for this payasam or must I have take it off in running consistency???
ReplyDeleteand how this payasam is served normally..hot or chilled?need help dear ka,thanK U..
Hi Lakshmi,
DeleteThanks for trying the aval payasam, I am happy that it turned out great. The procedure you did was absolutely correct, as time goes it will get litte thicker. you can just add more milk before serving. IF you have it hot, it will be exactly like the one in Guruvayur temple [just add more milk], you can have it also cold, but I prefer it hot.
Thanks a lot for contacting me, and letting me know.
Regards
Thanx for the reply ka..will take note :)
