Dates payasam | Dates kheer | Dry fruits payasam | Dates nuts payasam | Dry fruits kheer is a healthy and tasty payasam with no added sugar. It is a toddler-friendly Indian sweet recipe. Perfect, guilt-free, and rich payasam for the festive season.

Why dates?

A few years back when I started this blog you might have noticed a lot of dates based recipes in TMF. When my son was a toddler I explored a lot of Indian sweet recipes using dates. Now my daughter is growing up and it is time to make her some healthy and delicious evening drink. Dates kheer is also good for those who try to cut down sugar. kheer is  a tasty guilt-free indulgence. 

Is this sweet enough? Should I add sugar for the dates payasam?

I have made this payasam for my 18-month-old daughter so I preferred to keep the sweet subtle. For a sweet tooth, you can add 12-15 dates or add a few teaspoons of sugar. More dates might make the payasam thick so watch out.

Can I skip roasted almond flakes?

I have added few roasted almond flakes for taste. Instead, you can roast cashews and raisins in ghee and add it to the dates kheer. Pista, walnut, etc. can also be added to dry fruits kheer. 

Can I use other nuts instead of cashews?

Yes, you can use any nuts of your choice. Today I have used cashews but almonds can be used, like in my carrot payasam. I sometimes even use 1 + 1/2 tbsp of almond flour while grinding (instead of almonds) which even makes it yum and easy.

Notes

  1. Avoid overcooking the dates Payasam as it might change the taste
  2. If desired, roast cashews and raisins in ghee and add it to the payasam
  3. The sweetness depends on the dates. If you feel Payasam is too sweet add extra milk
  4. I didn’t add sugar but if desired few spoons of sugar can be added did extra flavor
  5. Dates can also be soaked in hot milk before grinding
  6. 3 almonds can be used instead of dates or 1 tbsp of almond flour can be added while grinding dates
