Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the beaten rice in water for 1 minute and drain the water.
- Put a non stick Kadhai on the gas and add ghee. Put the cashew nuts in the ghee and let it roast.
- Then add the beaten rice and sauté till a mild aroma comes.
- Now add the milk and let it come to a boil. Then let it simmer on low flame for 20-25 minutes till the milk halves in quantity and the poha is cooked.
- Add the sugar and a pinch of saffron and let it boil for two more minutes.
- Garnish with almonds and dried black grapes.
Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a richer flavor and aroma, lightly toast the poha in ghee until golden before adding it to the milk—this enhances the nutty note and keeps the poha from turning mushy.
- If making ahead, keep the payasam slightly thinner than your desired consistency, as it will thicken considerably upon cooling due to the poha absorbing more liquid.
- To boost nutrition and texture, add a handful of soaked raisins or chopped dates along with the cashews; this also reduces the need for extra sugar.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with coconut or almond milk, and use coconut oil in place of ghee—these swaps will add a subtle new dimension of flavor.
