Parangikkai payasam is a healthy and tasty kheer
made for the festive season using yellow pumpkin.
I learnt this dish from my mother.
This recipe serves three.
What you need
Grated yellow pumpkin - 1 cup
Milk – 2 1/2 cups
Jaggery – 1/2 cup
Almonds - 6
Cashew nuts - 6-7
Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
Ghee – 2 tsp
Cooking instructions
Blanch almonds and grind them with a little milk.
Melt jaggery in 1/4 cup water, strain to remove impurities and boil for a few minutes.
Heat ghee, fry cashew nuts and keep aside. In the same pan, sauté the grated pumpkin till the raw smell disappears.
Boil milk till it reduces a little, then add pumpkin, ground almonds and cook well.
Add jaggery, cardamom powder, stirring continuously and remove from flame.
Garnish with roasted cashew nuts and serve hot or chilled.
