JAVVARISI PAYASAM / SAGO KHEER & A CELEBRATION

Javvarisi Payasam is one of the easiest desserts to make.

Thank you all for your continuous support. My blog has crossed 5 lakh hits. A majority of the recipes here, being traditional, wouldnt it be apt to celebrate it with a payasam?

 

INGREDIENTS:

• Javvarisi (Sago) - 2 tablespoons
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Milk - 1 cup
• Water - 1/2 cup
• Powdered cardamom - 1/4 tsp.
• Ghee fried cashews - 6
• Ghee fried raisins - 10
• Pachai karpooram (edible camphor) - a pinch
• Ghee - 1 tsp.

METHOD:

Heat a heavy bottomed pan and fry the javvarisi till it turns to pure white. Now add 1/2 cup water, stir well and frequently. Cook till its opaque (like glass). Now, add sugar and cook till it dissolves. Allow it a boil. Switch off the stove, add milk, powdered cardamom, pachai karpooram, cashews and raisins. Mix well and serve hot.
