Payasa in kannada means kheer. We learnt about the benefits of Amaranth in the previous blog. This simple recipe can be made with limited ingredients and with ease.
INGREDIENTS:
Amaranth seeds- 1/4 cup
Milk- 1 cup (Alternate milks like Almond or Coconut milk can also be used)
Jaggery- 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder- 1 tsp
Cashew nuts- For garnishing
Rasins- 5-6
Ghee- 1 teaspoon
Servings: 1
DIRECTIONS:
Wash the amaranth seeds and soak for 2 hours. In a small pressure cooker add the soaked seeds and water in 1:3 ratio.
Pressure cook the grains until 3-4 whistles. On cooling add milk and jagerry and keep stirring till it forms an uniform mixture.
Once the payasa starts to boil remove from flame. The quantity of milk can be adjusted to desired consistency. Add the cardamom powder and stir.
Add the raisns and ghee before serving. Garnish with cashew nuts.
