  • Prep Time 1 Mins
  • Cook Time 20 Mins
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Cashew (Kaju)
  • ¼ cup Almond (Badam)
  • 4 Figs (Anjeer)
  • 3 Dry dates (Sookha Khajoor)
  • 1 tbsp Khus Khus
  • 1 litre Thick Milk
  • Saffron strands (Zafran) - A pinch
  • ¼ - ⅓ cup Sugar
  • ¼ tsp Cardamom Powder (Elaichi Powder)
  • ⅛ tsp Nutmeg Powder (Jaiphal Powder)

Instructions

  1. Soak all the dry fruits separately in hot water for at least an hour.
  2. After an hour, first grind almonds and cashew into rough slices. Keep aside.
  3. Now grind the rest of the dry fruits into a coarse powder.
  4. Boil the milk along with the ground ingredients and saffron strands and reduce to about 3/4ths of the original (i.e. till the mixture is about 750 ml ). Keep stirring constantly to avoid the mixture sticking at the bottom of the pan.
  5. Now add sugar (or melted jaggery) and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  6. Sprinkle Ilaichi and Jaiphal powders before taking off the fire. When the Payasam cools down, keep it in fridge for 2-3 hours and serve cold.
