Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 large Kerala banana (Nendran) 1 Cup Jaggery

0.5 Cup Water 3 pieces Cardamom (pods)

1 piece of Dried ginger (half an inch) 0.5 Cup Coconut milk (1st extract)

1 Cup Coconut milk (2nd extract) 3 tbsp Ghee

10 pieces Cashew nuts 2 tbsp Raisins

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.
