Atukulu Payasam/Pohu Kheer/Aval Payasam

Ingredients:

Atukulu/aval/poha ( thick one's): 1/2 Cup
Milk : 1 1/2 Cups

Sugar : 1/2 Cup
Cardamon powder: 1 tsp
Ghee: 1 tbs
Cashews : few

Method:

Heat pan with ghee. Add cashews to ghee & fry them to light brown. Keep aside.

Add milk & sugar to pan. Bring it to boil on low heat by stirring once in a while.

Add atukulu/poha & cardamon powder to milk & cook on low heat for 10mins, while stirring every 2 minutes or as needed. 

Add fried cashews to payasam & adjust sugar if needed. 

Serve hot or medium hot and enjoy.

Note:

You can use jaggery instead of sugar. If using jaggery add the same amount as sugar & adjust if needed. Adding jaggery at the end before adding cashew, so that the milk won't cuddle up. 

You can also add raisins if you like.
