Notes

  1. Soaking  is optional but it helps for smooth grinding so I highly recommend this step. Before grinding make sure it is hot else it might splash . It can be warm
  2. edible camphor is optional, skip
  3. you can use any variety of sweeter of your choice. If you are using jaggery or palm sugar make sure it is without impurities else milk might curdle
  4. amount of milk depends on the way you prefer payasam. My measurement yields rich, thick creamy payasam. If you prefer liquid gasagase payasam adjust milk/water
  5. filter jaggery water, milk/coconut milk might curdle if jaggery has impurities, so don’t skip filtering the jaggery water while preparing gasa gasa Payasam
  6. you can prepare jaggery water according to your choice. Avoid string consistency just melt the jaggery well and use it for gasagase Payasam
  7. can add almonds or skip nuts
  8. I have used ghee for tempering, skip it and prepare Payasam by using coconut milk. You can also use vegan butter
  9. you can cook add water and boil jaggery + poppy seed+ coconut mixture. To make gasagase payasam rich and delicious I personally prefer cooking in milk
