Method

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.

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.
