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 tablespoon of almond flour can be added while grinding dates
