Sooji Payasam (Step By Step Photos)
Slow-cooked until the milk reduces and turns a gentle pink, this payasam is pure comfort in a bowl. Every Kerala celebration ends with a payasam like this — rich, sweet, and fragrant with cardamom.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 1 cup Sooji
- Sugar, to taste
- Ghee, to taste
- 4 cup Milk
- Salt pinch
- 2 Cardamom
- Cashew, badam, raisins fried, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Add little ghee in a tawa and heat it. Add sooji and fry till it turns brown and set aside.
Step 2
Boil milk. Add sooji to the boiled milk and stir.
Step 3
Wait till the sooji is cooked and it thickens.
Step 4
Add sugar, salt and cardamom and stir till the sugar gets dissolved.
Step 5
Add nuts and serve hot.
Tip
Never rush the milk reduction by increasing the heat. Scorched milk adds a bitter undertone that ruins the entire payasam.
