Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Millet Health Mix of My Little Moppet Foods
  • 1 tablespoon Jaggery powder
  • 1 1/2 cup Almond milk You can use any plant or animal based milk
  • 1 teaspoon ghee
  • 1 teaspoon dry fruit powder
  • 1 /4 teaspoon cardamom powder

Instructions

  • Take 2 tablespoon millet health mix in a sauce pan.
  • Add almond milk to it. Whisk to get lump-free solution.
  • Transfer the sauce pan to stove top.
  • Cook the millet and milk mixture on low to medium flame for 4-5 minutes while stirring continuously.
  • After the mix reduces and start thickening, add the jaggery powder and stir well. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Now add dry fruit powder and stir. Cook for another 1 minute.
  • Lastly add ghee and cardamom powder, give a quick stir and put off the flame.
  • Serve the delicious millet payasam in individual bowls. I have garnished the payasam with saffron strands, dried rose petals and slivered almond and pistachio. This is optional. Do not garnish the kheer if serving to babies.
  • Notes:
  • The payasam thickens further on cooling, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Any plant or animal based milk may be used to make the payasam. I have used almond milk.
  • Do not garnish the payasam with dry fruits, if serving to small babies to rule out the choking hazards.
  • Skip jaggery powder if serving to babies below 1 year.
