Aval Payasam or Red Rice Poha Kheer is a recipe that suits any season. I have used Red Rice Poha. This is an idea to add little more nutrition and taste too. Poha is roasted in ghee. beaten in a blender and cooked in milk and ghee. Finally garnished with nuts. This payasam saves time. Unlike Pal Payasam it is prepared in very less time. It tastes awesome. Here goes the recipe…
Aval Payasam / Red Rice Poha Payasam
Ingredients
- ¾ Cup Red Rice Poha / Aval
- 1.5 Cup Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Ghee
- ½ Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- Nuts For Garnishing
Instructions
- Add milk in a pan and bring it to boil. Set it aside.
- Heat Ghee in a pan. Add in Almonds and roast them for a minute. Remove them from ghee and set it aside.
- In the same ghee add in poha and roast them for a minute.
- Add in the boiled milk and cook them.
- Add in sugar and cook until the poha is cooked soft.
- Add in cardamom and keep cooking. Switch off the flame and finally garnish with roasted cashews.
Notes
- If using thick Variety of Aval then after roasting in aval pulse in the blender. Then cook them further.
- This Payasam thickens by time. So if needed add in more milk before serving.
