Wheat Rava Payasam / Rava Payasam/ Semolina Kheer

Happy Chithrakkani / Tamil New year to all my viewers. 

As Tamil Varuda Pirappu is just in the doorstep i thought to share this easy recipe. Chithrakkani/Tamil Varuda Pirappu falls on 1st Chithirai month of tamil Calendar. People welcome it by preparing sweets and some special recipes. Temple visit is a must on this day and all temples will be crowded with people.

This is simple payasam made with wheat rava which can be served as nivedhyam for god. I have used here jaggery but normal sugar can also be used. It tastes great.

2. Add milk to the roasted rava and cover to cook for 2-3 mins.

 

3. Once rava is cooked it should be fast. Add the powdered jaggery and give a quick stir. It will become slightly loosen as jaggery melts.

 

4. Finally add the cardamon powder, fried cashews and raisins and balance 1/2 tbsp ghee.

• Instead of jaggery you can also add normal sugar as per your sweetness. 
• You can 1-2 tbsp condensed milk for richness.
