Aval Payasam with jaggery | Poha kheer with jaggery – Rice flakes payasam recipe

aval-payasam
I make this aval payasam every Friday for Lakshmi pooja. This is the simplest & delicious payasam that can be made in 10-15 minutes in a pressure cooker with a video below. 
INGREDIENTS
1 cup – 250ml

  • Thick rice flakes / Poha/ Aval – 1/2 cup
  • Powdered jaggery – 3/4 cup or 1 cup
  • Boiled milk /coconut milk – 1/4 cup
  • Cardamom seeds – 2 nos (powdered)
  • Ghee – 2 tsp
  • Water – As  required (around 2 to 2.5 cups)
  • Roasted Cashews – a few
For additional flavour roast in a tsp of ghee & add the following
  • Cloves /Krambu- 2 nos
  • Roasted Nutmeg powder/ Jathikkai – A pinch
  • Edible camphor / Pachai karpooram – a pinch
HOW TO MAKE AVAL PAYASAM – METHOD

  • Heat a kadai with a tbsp of ghee and roast the cashews. Set aside. Clean the aval & remove the drbris if any. 
  • In the same kadai,  roast the cleaned aval and cardamom together for 3-4 mins. Aval becomes crispy and turns little brown. Allow it to cool. Powder it nicely. If you don’t want to powder the aval, wash the roasted aval and cook it.  AVAL PAYASAM TILE1
  • Now take the water in a bowl and add the powdered aval. Mix well, there should be no lumps. Cover and cook for 5 mins. Stir in between and check the water level. Add more water if needed. It thickens after few minutes.

  • Now add the powdered jaggery and mix well. Allow it to boil for 5-10 mins. Finally add the roasted cashews. Add the items given under “flavour” if necessary. Switch off the flame and add 1/4 cup of boiled milk or coconut milk. Serve hot or cold !!

NOTE
    1. U can add coconut milk for richness. But it should be added at the end before switching off the flame.
    2. If you feel sweetness is more, add little boiled milk.
    3. When you add milk along with jaggery , payasam gives a curdled look. To avoid this, add milk only after switching off the flame.
    4. If you want, you can replace jaggery with sugar.
    5. Here i’ve powdered the aval. If you wish, you can roast the aval, wash and cook as it is. It will take little more time to cook. So you can use a presssure cooker for quick cooking.

      Just clean it before roasting. If you are not grinding it, you can wash the roasted aval and cook it.
