Ingredients Serving: 8

  1. 2 cups (400 gms) split green gram
  2. 1 1/2 cup grated jaggery
  3. 3 1/2 cups water
  4. 2 cups fresh thick coconut milk
  5. 2 tbsp ghee
  6. 1/4 tsp Dry Ginger Powder
  7. 1 small green cardamom
  8. 2 tbsp Sugar
  9. 10 cashew nuts
  10. 10 raisins
  11. 10 small bits of coconut

Instructions

  1. First we will fry split green gram by stirring constantly in a thick bottomed pan till its golden brown. Don't over fry otherwise it will burn. Remove it in a vessel and wash it in running water. By doing this step when pressure cooking the gram will cook properly without losing it's texture and shape.
  2. Next take grated jaggery in a thick bottomed vessel, add 1 cup water and melt it till it forms a thick syrup. Cool and strain it and keep it aside.
  3. Pressure cook the washed green gram with 2 cups of water. Let it cook till 2-3 whistles.
  4. Once all the pressure is released, open the pressure cooker and in a medium flame add in melted jaggery syrup. Bring this to a boil add dry ginger powder and powder made by blending sugar and cardamom.
  5. Now lower the flame and pour in coconut milk. When it just starts to boil switch off the gas.
  6. In a small pan heat ghee and fry cashew nuts, coconut bits and raisins till golden brown.
  7. Garnish the payasam with the fried cashew nuts, coconut bits and raisins and pour the remaining ghee over the payasam. Serve warm.
