SARKARA PAYASAM

          Sarkara payasam normally reminds me of the prasadams which we get from temples.Ahhh i just enjoy having it. Infact we do plan for temple visits if its sure that we will get these hot payasams.They normally serve them in leaves which gives an extra taste for it and being really hottt its justtttt eeeemmmmm.......
This one i had just tried back home after the navarathri festival ,with the rice which i had kept for the pooja in my house.
This simple recipe can be made on any special occations with simple ingredients and a very simple process.The extra flavour of the ghee enriches the dish and gives a good aroma.



  • Rice  (pachari)                                         1cup
  • Jaggery syrup                                          1cup
  • Water                                                      2cups
  • Cashew and kismis                                  1/2cup
  • Coconut pieces                                         1tbspn
  • Ghee                                                         2tbspn
  • Coconut milk                                             1/2cup

In a large vessel bring about 1 cup of water to boil and add the jaggery to it and let it melt and form a syrup.Then Cook the rice in 2cups of water or you can keep them in a pressure cooker for about 2 whistles and once it gets cooked add the rice to the  jaggery syrup and  let it boil to a thick form and keep on stiriing occationally.Then add in the coconut milk to this and let it cook for another 5mins.Finally add in the ghee fried cashews,kismis and coconut pieces to it and give a quick stir.Now the dish is ready to serve your guests.

Finally add in the fennel seeds,cumin seeds,maida and a pinch of salt to this and give a stir with a ladle. Now heat oil in the appakuzhi and  when it gets hot add in each s
