Ending this week on a sweet note!! I tried payasam with the leftover puttu. My mom makes vella puttu which I haven't yet tried. This time I tried making payasam with milk and sugar. I really liked it. H said he will not give 100% marks as a payasam probably around 80%. His opinion was this could be served as a very good dessert in parties rather than a payasam in a sadhya. Anyways heres the recipe of puttu payasam.
Ingredients:
Cooked puttu - 1 cup
Milk - 1 litre
Coconut - 2 tbsp
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Cashewnuts / dry grapes - 2 tbsp
Method
- Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed vessel.
- Once the milk boils, simmer the gas stove and add the cooked puttu. Add the grated coconut and mix well. Keep stirring for 5 minutes.
- Now add the sugar. Mix well and keep stirring. Continue this for another 10 minutes.
- Add the cardamom powder finally and mix well. Switch off the stove.
- In a kadai add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot, fry the cashewnuts and dry grapes until they turn brown. Pour this into the payasam.
Puttu payasam is ready!!
Notes:
- We can also add saffron to make the payasam more interesting.
