Posted in : Payasa| Kheer| on November 28, 2015 by : Divya Suresh

A kheer / payasa with all the goodness of nut and fruit. I had soaked almonds to make some other dish , but I could not do due to some reason, so I wanted to use that soaked and peeled almond immediately… I had apple also which was very attractive in red colour, suddenly it strike my mind that… how it will be if I use both almond and apple together and try some new dish, so with a very few ingredients I tried it today… Its superbly yummy.. Now I would like to do it whenever I feel like. I made it mildly sweet, as we like any sweet that way, but you can always adjust the quantity of sugar.

Other few payasa recipes in my blog are – appe payasa , huruli-shavige payasa , gasagase/Poppy seeds payasa , avalakki/rice flakes/poha payasa , sabbakki/sago/sabudana Payasa , akki-kadalebele payasa , kadalaparippu/kadalebele/chana dal payasa , batavi payasa , hesarubele payasa

Ingredients :

Almond (soaked & peeled) – 1 cup
Apple – 1 big
Ghee – 1 tsp
Raw cane sugar – 5 tbsp (adjust)
Milk – 2&1/2 cups
Cardamom Powder – 1/4 tsp
Saffron strands – 1/2 tsp (reserve a little for garnishing)

PROCEDURE :

Grind soaked & peeled 3/4 cup of almonds using 2 cups of milk, by adding little at a time along with saffron (out of 2&1/2 cups)
Chop the remaining 1/4 cup of almond
Grate the apple
Heat ghee, add in chopped almonds and grated apple, saute for a minute (I kept it crunchy, if you want you can saute till it becomes soft)

Now add in ground almond-saffron mixture and keep stirring continuously, but slowly on low medium flame

Once it starts boiling, turn off the flame and add in sugar and combine well, then add the remaining 1/2 cups of milk and again combine everything well
