RAVA PAYASAM RECIPE| SOOJI KHEER RECIPE

Rava payasam or Sooji payasam is a very simple kheer . Generally it is made for Varalakshmi pooja or any auspicious fridays . Though my mom makes rava payasam , this is the first time i am trying at home. It turned out very well and it is a very easy and simple payasam . I added little condensed milk so that it will not taste like a porridge.

Ingredients

  Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 15 Mins |   Serves : 2

     Sooji|semolina|Rava   2 tblsp
     Milk      2 cups
     Ghee     1 tsp
     Cashew nuts   5
     Cardamom powder    A pinch
     Condensed milk    1 tblsp(optional)
     Sugar      2 tblsp  

Method:

• In a pan add ghee and roast the cashew nuts till golden brown.
• Keep it aside and in the same pan add the sooji|rava and roast it in a low flame without changing the colour.

• Add milk to this now and slowly cook this in a low flame without getting lumps. 
• Stir it in between so that it will not get burnt.

• Add condensed milk to this and mix well. Add sugar and mix well. Boil for a minute and switch it off.
• Add the roasted cashew nuts and cardamom powder to this and serve. 

• This kheer tends to be thick after it is cooled. So let the consistency be thin.

Notes:

1. Do not add more rava than the quantity mentioned. Else it will be like a halwa only.
2. Adding condensed milk is totally optional. I wanted a creamy texture as i feel else  this payasam will be like a baby porridge.
