Wheat Payasam
Ingredients
1 cup broken wheat
1 ½ cup grated jaggery
2 cups milk
2 cups water
1 tbsp ghee
8 to 10 almonds roughly chopped
8 to 10 cashew nut roughly chopped
1 tbsp of dry grapes (kishmish)
¼ cup grated coconut ( optional)
Method
Wash broken wheat and cook in cooker with 2 cups of water
for 2 whistle.
In a heavy bottom pan transfer the cooked wheat, discard excess water if any and add milk
to it.
Once the milk is boiling add grated jaggery and keep stirring.
(More jaggery can be added to make it sweet)
Add grated coconut.
Heat ghee in a separate pan and roast almonds, cashew nut and
kishmish in it. Add the roasted nuts to the payasam.
Server it hot or chilled.
We never put almonds in any kind of payasams(in kerala). What I thought was, the almonds will give a different taste and doesn't suit well with payasams, may be wrong.
