Yesterday evening, it was one of those moments when I am suddenly caught up in a desire to dig into some hot dessert. Scrounging my kitchen for ideas, I saw some broken wheat that has been lying around for quite some time now. Broken wheat payasam Satiated my apetite and sure was able to have hot payasam waiting for hubby dear when he returned from work. (He is a baby who likes to be pampered every now and then. Sshhh!)
Ingredients
- 2 cups broken wheat
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp ghee
- Jaggery
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup grated coconut or a handful of cashews & raisins
- Pinch of cardamom
- Water
Directions
- Heat the ghee in the pressure cooker. Fry the broken wheat for about 5 mins on medium heat. Pour water, cover and cook for 3-4 whistles.
- When the steam is gone, open the cooker, turn on the heat and add the jaggery and salt. Add some more water if required
- When the jaggery has melted and the whole thing comes to a boil, add the milk and cook for some more time. Switch off, add the cardamom and stir well
- In a pan, heat some ghee and fry the coconut till its light brown and crispy. Alternatively, fry the cashews and raisins till the cashews brown and raisins swell up. Add to the payasam. Serve hot
