I make Rava Payasam to satisfy sudden cravings of my kids who like most kids, change their mind before we even realize. Rava as such is filling and nutritious. So when my kids go on a hunger strike, Rava Payasam is one of the items which can keep them going for a while! So it is definitely a life saver in such cases..Don't we all agree??
Ingredients -
Milk 4 Cups
Semolina (Sooji/Rava) 3 TbspSugar 3/4 cup
Badam Mix 1 Tbsp
Almonds , Cashews and Raisins for garnish
Method Of Preparation -
Take the Rava in a microwave safe bowl (preferably non-plastic) and roast it in the microwave for about 40-50 secs depending on the wattage of the microwave (I roasted for 40 secs in a 1000 watt microwave oven).
Add Milk and bring to a boil, mixing it every 2 min. It should approximately take 5-6 min. (Keep a constant eye on the microwave because it might boil over making a mess!)
Then add sugar and badam mix (I use the MTR Badam Feast available in the Indian stores here). The badam mix can be substituted with plain badam powder and cardamom powder also.
Mix well and heat in intervals of 30 secs until the sugar is dissolved. It should take about 2-3 min to get done.
Garnish with Badam scrapings, roasted cashews and raisins and serve warm or cold.
Serves approx. 4 Adults
Preparation Time 10 min
