Hi friends, 

Aval payasam is a quick, easy, delicious kheer / payasam / pradhaman using aval (poha ).

I have made this in the original Kerala method. This recipe calls for using white sugar instead of jaggery, so that the milk stays nice.

Jaggery (soft) - 2 Tbsp

Cowpeas (Karamani / thattampayaru) (cooked) - 1/4 cup

Shredded coconut - 1 Tbsp

Water - 3cups + 1 cup

Method:

Soak the oats overnight for easy cooking and also soaking gives more volume after cooking.

Oats can be cooked without soaking too.

Put the oats in a cooking vessel.

Add 3 cups of water.

Cook it in stovetop. (In a pressure cooker just 1 whistle is enough. In an electric cooker it needs pressure cooking for 3 mins).

While the oats is cooking, dissolve ragi flour in 1/2 cup of water.

After the oats turns mushy, add the ragi solution. Rinse the bowl in little more water (say 1/2 cup water) and add.
