Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. Take 2 tablespoon millet health mix in a sauce pan.
  2. Add almond milk to it. Whisk to get lump-free solution.
  3. Transfer the sauce pan to stove top.
  4. Cook the millet and milk mixture on low to medium flame for 4-5 minutes while stirring continuously.
  5. After the mix reduces and start thickening, add the jaggery powder and stir well. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Now add dry fruit powder and stir. Cook for another 1 minute.
  7. Lastly add ghee and cardamom powder, give a quick stir and put off the flame.
  8. 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.
  9. Notes:
  10. The payasam thickens further on cooling, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  11. Any plant or animal based milk may be used to make the payasam. I have used almond milk.
  12. Do not garnish the payasam with dry fruits, if serving to small babies to rule out the choking hazards.
  13. Skip jaggery powder if serving to babies below 1 year.
