RAVA PAYASAM

Ingredients:

1 litre milk
400 ml water
100 grms rava roasted with a tsp of ghee
200 grms sugar
1 tbs cashew nuts roasted with ghee
1 tbs raisins roasted with ghee
tsp cardamom powder
2 tbs ghee

Method:

In a pot add the milk and water and boil it.
When it boils, slow the fire and add the rava
Little by little, keep stirring to see that no lumps form.
When the rava is cooked add the sugar and stir.
Now if your payasam is thick you can add more milk.
Now add the cashew nuts and raisins and the cardamom powder.
Stir well and remove from the stove and serve.
Your payasam should look watery when you remove from stove.
It will become thick when it cools .

Note: those who like can cook the payasam in milk

alone without adding any water

Thanks for the Rava payasam Kavi, will try this out

Happy Ugathi friends.

Thanks Ambi for the cutney recipe.

Kavi thanks for the Rava puttu and masala tea, nalla breakfast sapitta thiruppi enake... 😛

Btw, last Sunday, I tried your Valakkai podimas and Carrot Halwa, both turn out very well 😃 .. Carrot halwa was a hit among my family and friends. Thanks dear. I might try again the halwa for new year.

Tomorrow I shall try your butter prawns for dinner.. 😃😃

Paal puttu is very easy Kavi. Prepare the puttu flour the usual way, but the flour mixture should not be too fine like breadcrumbs. It is should be bigger and very coarse, because if you add fine ones it will over cook in the pal and turn out like porridge. It should be somewhere equal to or smaller than seedai. Steam the puttu. Crumble and allow to cool. (when I say crumble, this is because if you use the puttu steamer. If you use muslin cloth, then it is okay)

In a wok, pour in 1-2 cups of coconut milk. (Mix 1 & 2 squeezed coconut milk). Heat up the milk and add 1/2 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring, till it boils. Be careful not to allow it to overboil. Then add 1.5 cup steamed puttu to the milk . Give a quick and good stir and shut down the flame. The puttu should not be too dry or too liquid. Add more milk if too dry. Serve hot.

I remember my aunt served me this and it shaped like seedai and pressed in middle. Apparently, most household serve this special dish for girls who reached their puberty. 😉 😆 Apparently, good for you. But I don't know what reason. So my aunty gave me this. 😃 She took time to do it.

But my mum she just mixes very fast like the way she do the usual puttu.

kavi,i don't know ugadi pachadi.my mom used 2 do it,if u want,i can get the recipe.thanx all 4 ugadi wishes.

Vani, I am glad you liked the carrot halva and the podimas. When you have time try out other recipes also.
Thanks a lot for your feedbacks. Kavi

Caryn, thanks for the recipe for paal puttu.
let me try it Caryn.

I remember, my M.I.Law she makes small rounds like what your aunt makes, then she would boil the milk the same way, and add the steamed pieces. She would add little flour to thicken the milk. She calls it paal kolukattai



Caryn also thanks for the pineapple salad.
Its nice to do different kinds of salads.

Thanks again Caryn. Kavi

Talking about rava ponggal. I had rava uppuma today for lunch. Mum made.

She sliced brinjals, onions and potato, marinated separately in tumeric & chilli powder and fried crips separately. Set a side

She did the uppmma like you prepared without moong dal and tempered with dry chilli and added all the fried ingredients at last and mixed well. Yum........
