Healthy payasam

As a kid, I was a picky eater when it came to vegetables. Don't know why, but I always hated carrots and beetroots.  Having a big sweet tooth, I accept these vegetables if it in dessert form. Amma frequently prepares sweets like beetroot halwa, carrot halwa, and carrot Payasam.

Should I cook carrots in a pressure cooker?

For faster cooking, I prefer cooking in a pressure cooker. You can also cook carrots on the stovetop. Within 30 minutes the tasty payasam can be prepared.  Cooker helps for easy cooking.

can I use Almond flour instead of almonds?

yes, use 3 tablespoon of almond flour instead of almonds. You need not pressure cook almond flour with carrots. Add almond flour while blending carrots.

Rich and tasty Payasam recipe

Carrots combined with Almonds make this payasam super healthy. Making kids eat nuts is a big deal but I am sure if served as a dessert in the form of payasam it is a big yes😋😋 

Should I cook carrots in milk?

Milk adds richness to the tasty payasam. Alternatively, you can cook in water and add little milk towards the end. 

Can I use evaporated milk for Payasam?

Yes, use 1 cup of evaporated milk instead of 1 + ½ cup of milk.

How to serve carrot kheer?

Whether you serve it  hot or cold, carrot Payasam is always a winner✋️✋️ My personal favorite is refrigerating  Payasam recipes for few hours and enjoy

  16. This is interesting and what's better is that it's not a scary color after it's made. Sometimes colors make it really hard for me to eat something - especially if I've not tried it before.

    1. Thanks Jenn:) totally agree sometime after cooking the color makes the food unappetizing. Glad you liked
