Carrot Sago kheer recipe, Payasam recipes

Carrot sago kheer, a creamy rich payasam using carrot and javarisi, cooked in milk and condensed milk and nuts adds up to it's richness. I have tried this carrot sago kheer for the first time for a potluck during last year navaratri. It was a super hit in that party. After that i made it one more time for my guests but i didn't have time to click the pictures. I made this last week to post again but somehow i am not satisfied with the pictures. So finally today being our wedding anniversary, made this and we all enjoyed. Check out my instagram lunch post for our wedding anniversary special.
This payasam gives more volume and will be perfect one for potlucks and parties. Addition of condensed milk gives more creaminess to the sago payasam. Check out the notes section in the last to see the tips.

Godhuma Rava Payasam | Samba Rava payasam recipe

Godhumai rava payasam is a simple and easy payasam made with samba wheat rava, milk and jaggery as the main ingredients. I tried this last week itself but somehow struck with editing the video and by the time i finished editing it was too late . So i decided to post the recipe of Samba rava payasam today. Generally we use dalia | samba rava | godhuma rava for making upma or porridge . But this is a creamy and delicious payasam with godhuma rava . As i have mentioned in one of my recent posts, i am taking skype class for a group of 30 people, who are learning sanskrit and vedas (from a different teacher). As a part of their class, traditional cooking is being taught. I am previlaged to share my cooking knowledge with them by showing them how to cook traditional recipes. For the first class i made this godhuma rava payasam and a variety rice recipe(coming up soon). Check out my other easy payasam recipes:

ELANEER PAYASAM |ELANEER PAYASAM RECIPE |EASY PAYASAM RECIPES

 
Have you ever tried Payasam with elaneer (tender coconut) !. Though i have heard this many times , never tasted this or made on my own at home. Last month when Suresh visited Chennai officially, he happened to taste this elaneer payasam in a restaurant and immediately he called me and told it tasted very nice. I am so curious to try this at home but don't have any clue as how to make it. I asked my mom and she told she had written this in her note book and she sent that book with my hubby. That book has lot of nice recipes , which my mom learnt from many source.
Elaneer payasam turned out extremely well and i highly recommend you to try this at home for a change from usual payasams. This kheer needs no cooking too. Sounds interesting right!

CHAKKA PRADAMAN RECIPE | JACKFRUIT PAYASAM

   When i saw jackfruits in the wet market yesterday i picked up 2 packets of jackfruits keeping in mind making chakka pradaman today for Tamil New year today. But i don’t have any idea about the recipe and while i was having a casual talk with Raks  she also gave a idea and i vaguely remembered the way my mom makes jackfruit payasam. Finally today when i made this it turned out extremely nice and i am now waiting for everyone to come back from school and office to taste this jackfruit kheer.

JACK FRUIT	10- 15 PIECES
JAGGERY	1/2 CUP
COCONUT MILK(THICK)	1/2 CUP
CASHEW NUTS	5-7 NO
GHEE	1 TBLSP

METHOD:

• Wash the jackfruit pieces and deseed them.
• Cut them into pieces roughly.

• Slightly roast them in a tsp of ghee for 2 minutes in a medium flame.

• Pressure cook them for 2 whistles by adding a cup of water.
• When done, allow it to cool and grind it into a smooth paste.

• I got one and 1/4 cups of puree.
• Melt the jaggery in 1/2 cup of water and filter the impurities.
• Boil the jaggery water for 3 minutes in low flame.

• Add the jackfruit puree to this and boil for 2 minutes.

• Now add the coconut milk and just give a boil for 2 minutes in a low flame.
• I used the store bought coconut milk.

• Do not boil for a long time after adding the coconut milk. Else it will curdle.
• Roast the cashews in ghee and add to the payasam.
• This taste great when it is served warm and chilled.

• Check out other Payasam Recipes

Note:

• Coconut milk can be replaced with normal milk, but i recommend the addition of coconut milk.
• If the consistency is too thick just add 1/2 cup of water after the addition of coconut milk.
• I never add cardamom powder as i feel this will suppress the flavor of jackfruit.
• Adjust the level of jaggery according to the sweetness of the jackfruit.

JAVARISI PAYASAM | SABUDANA KHEER

(WITH EVAPORATED MILK)

       When it comes to kheer i always love the vermicelli kheer and the one with sago i never had before marriage as i always consider sago with milk combo will be like a porridge. As my hubby is a big fan of sago i make this more frequently and i started loving the kheer now a days.

I thank all my friends who wished my son for his birthday in my Previous post.

SAGO|JAVARISI	1/4 CUP
MILK	2 CUPS
EVAPORATED MILK	1/2 TIN
GHEE	1 TSP
CASHEW NUTS	6-7 NO
CARDAMOM POWDER	A PINCH
SUGAR	4 -5TBLSP

• Wash and soak the sago in water for 2-3 hours.
• In a pan, add the ghee and fry the cashew nuts till golden brown.
• Keep it aside.
• Drain the water from the soaked javarisi and saute it in the remaining ghee for 2 mins.

• Add milk to this and boil it in a medium flame sauting in between.
• When it comes to a boil add the evaporated milk and boil this for 10 minutes till you get a nice texture and the milk reduces to 3/4 level.

• Add sugar and mix well. Switch off the flame and garnish with cashew nuts.
• Add cardamom powder and mix well.
• Serve hot or you can serve chilled too.
• The kheer tasted so yum and the flavor of the evaporated milk was fantastic and we enjoyed it a lot.

Note:

• Condensed milk also can be added and in that case do not add sugar.
• Do not reduce the boil the milk for a long time. The sago will absorb the milk and when the kheer becomes cool. So it will be thickened.
• The same kheer can be made with vermicelli also.

But Jayasree Satish is no more with us in this moment to enjoy the happy moments. Though i know only through facebook, i always love her smile and calmness in her face. To be more honest, i visited her blog for the first time a few days back and i am amazed to see very nice collection of recipes in her blog.

• Add milk to this and bring it to a boil keeping the flame low.Switch off the flame.
• Fry the cashew nuts in ghee and add to the kheer.

Semiya Payasam recipe, Vermicelli kheer

 Semiya Payasam, a popular South Indian kheer| payasam recipe made using milk, vermicelli and sugar. A simple recipe but tastes awesome and it is a must in our household whenever we have guests. Later when condensed milk started coming into the market, my mom used to make semiya payasam using condensed milk and it will take the  taste of the payasam to a different level. Even without the addition of the condensed milk the payasam is made by simmering the milk for a long time. In most of the South Indian weddings they serve Semiya payasam. Now a days they serve in disposable cups but during our childhood days, they used to serve in the banana leaf itself. We use our hands to eat the payasam and sometimes smear some fried appalam on it and eat too.
