Ingredients

4

half Liter Coconut Milk

2 pieces Nendra bananas

100 grams Jaggery, grated

half teaspoon Cardamom powder

quarter teaspoon Dry ginger powder

100 grams Cashews

1 tablespoon Ghee

Tips

For a richer flavor, allow the bananas to caramelize slightly before adding other ingredients.

Stir continuously to prevent the payasam from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Adjust the sweetness according to taste by increasing or decreasing the amount of jaggery.

Directions

Prepare the Sweetener: In a small saucepan, melt the jaggery with a splash of water over low heat until it forms a thick syrup. Strain to remove any impurities and set aside.

Cook the Bananas: In a large pot, add the sliced bananas and pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Add Flavors: Stir in the cardamom and dry ginger powder into the simmering mixture. Allow the bananas to cook until they are soft and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in Jaggery: Add the jaggery syrup to the pot, mixing well to combine. Simmer for an additional 3 minutes.

Garnish: In a small pan, heat ghee (if using) and fry the cashews until golden brown. Use these to garnish the payasam before serving.

Notes

Individuals with nut allergies should avoid or modify the garnish.

Those on a low-fat diet may opt to omit ghee.
