Cooking Steps
Step 1 :
Extract coconut milk from fresh coconuts and keep them ready. Fry the nuts and raisins in a tablespoon of ghee and keep aside.
Step 2 :
Peel the banana and chop it roughly, steam it in a steamer or cooker. I poured some water into the cooker and placed the banana in another vessel inside the cooker and steamed it for about 2 whistles.
Step 3 :
Once it cools down, remove the black seed part by slitting the banana pieces in quarters. Mash the banana with a wooden spoon or ladle.
Step 4 :
In another vessel, crush the jaggery roughly and place it in water along with the cardamom pods and crushed chukku/dry ginger. Heat this until the jaggery melts completely, strain and keep aside to remove any impurities.
Step 5 :
Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a heavy bottom saucepan, add the mashed plantain and cook it until a nice aroma starts coming. Be careful the banana will tend to stick to the bottom if left unattended.
Step 6 :
Once the banana is soft add the jaggery syrup. Allow it to cook further for 5-7 minutes until the banana starts breaking down.
Step 7 :
Add the second extract of coconut milk allow it to simmer and stir regularly. Allow it to cook for another 3-4 minutes then add the first extract and stir well for a minute on low flame and turn off the flame.
Step 8 :
Add the ghee-roasted nuts and raisins to the payasam. Delicious payasam is ready to be served hot or cold.
