Gothambu Payasam / Broken Wheat Payasam

Wishing all my readers a Very Happy Onam!

Gothambu Payasam / Broken Wheat Payasam
Ingredients:
Broken wheat / Nurukku gothambu / Sooji gothambu -1 cup
Jaggery / Sharkara - 400 gms
Water - 1 cup
Thick (first extract) coconut milk - 2 cups
Medium thick (second extract) coconut milk -– 4 cups
Thin (third extract) coconut milk - 5 cups
Cardamom Powder - ½ tsp
Roasted cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Dry ginger powder - 1/2 tsp
Ghee - 1tbsp
Cashew nuts - 25nos
Raisins - 2 tbsp



Method:
  • Pressure cook cleaned broken wheat with 5 cups of thin (third extract) coconut milk for 10 minutes on low flame.
  • Melt jaggery with 1 cup water. Strain the melted jaggery and mix with cooked wheat. Cook this mixture till it reaches a thick consistency.
  • Add medium thick (second extract) coconut milk and cook on low heat.
  • When it starts thickening add the thick (first extract) coconut milk, cardamom powder, cumin powder and dry ginger powder and cook on a low flame for 5 more minutes and remove from fire.
  • Heat 1 tbsp ghee and fry cashew nuts and raisins separately till golden brown and pour it along with the remaining ghee over the payasam.
  • Serve warm.


Notes:
  • I used coconut milk powder, to make a cup of thick coconut milk, add 4tbsp of coconut milk powder to a cup of warm water.
  • Payasam tends to thicken as it cools down. If so dilute it with warm coconut milk.
