Are you scratching your head to make a dessert under 10 mins. Then here you go this is the easiest payasam / kheer than you can make with aval / poha (Flatten rice) . Flatten rice is easily digestible and cookable without compromising the taste.
Usually for
festival avalakki (Flatten rice + Jaggery mixture) but i went one step further and made this heavenly Delicious payasam / kheer.
Preparation time: less than 5 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
Serves : 2 cups
INGREDIENTS:
- Aval / Poha / Flatten Rice - 1 cup
- Milk - 2 cups
- Jaggery - 1/2 cup (shredded)
- Saffron - few strands
- ghee - 1 tsp + 1 tsp
- Cashew nuts - 5 or 6
DIRECTION:
In a pan, dry roast flatten rice (aval) for a minute. Then to that add a tsp of ghee and saute for a minute until they tend to shrink. Then add jaggery and mix together, cook until the jaggery is melted and coats a layer over flatten rice.
Then to that add a cup of milk and let it boil, in 3 mins or so all the milk will be absorbed by Aval / poha. Now add rest of the milk and saffron and boil for another couple of minutes.
In a tadka add ghee and shallow fry cashew nuts and add it too the payasam.
