Wheat Semolina Payasam is a delicious and nutritious payasam which is also very simple to make. I made this for Aadi Friday prasadam. For all special occasions, this payasam can indeed be offered to the Lord. In wheat, there are two types of semolina available: broken wheat as well as small semolina, which is what we usually use. In this post, I made Payasam with small wheat semolina instead of broken wheat.
- Wheat Semolina - 1 cup
- Grated Coconut - 2 cups
- Jaggery - 1 cup
- Condensed Milk - 1 cup
- Ghee - 2 tbsp
- Cloves - 4
- Cashews - 10
- Raisins - 10
- Cardamom powder - ½ tsp
-
Add 1 cup of wheat semolina to a saucepan or pressure cooker.
-
Fry it on medium heat until fragrant.
-
Add 3 cups of water after washing it once.
-
Cover the cooker and cook on low heat for 3 whistles, or until the semolina softens.
-
In a mixing jar, combine 2 cups of grated coconut.
-
Grind it once.
-
Then pour in 2 cups of water.
-
Grind it finely and strain the thick coconut milk through a strainer.
-
Then, add 2 cups of water to the mixer jar with the grated coconut.
-
Again, finely grind and squeeze the milk, this time with the second coconut milk. It's not as thick as the first milk and is a little runnier.
-
In a pan, add 1 cup of jaggery.
-
Boil it with 1 cup of water added.
-
Turn off the heat once the jaggery has dissolved and boiled thoroughly.
-
When the semolina is thoroughly cooked, strain and add the jaggery.
-
Allow it to boil for 2-3 minutes.
-
Then stir in 1 cup of condensed milk.
-
Now add the second/thin coconut milk and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
-
Then pour in the thick first coconut milk and turn off the heat.
-
In a small pan, add 2 tbsp of ghee.
-
Add 10 cashew nuts and 4 cloves to the heated ghee.
-
Add the raisins and continue to cook until the raisins are golden brown after the cashew nuts have been halfway roasted.
-
Then incorporate it into the payasam.
-
Mix in 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder.
-
It's time for some delicious wheat semolina payasam.
