Badam Payasam

🇮🇳 Indian

A bowl of payasam — slow milk, ghee, jaggery, and the quiet pride of a job done patiently. 50 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 20 min Cook 30 min Serves 6 Medium

  • Sugar1/2 cup
  • Almonds1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the main lightly in ghee until it smells like a festival kitchen.

  2. 2

    Simmer it in milk (or coconut milk) until soft and the liquid turns creamy.

  3. 3

    Melt the jaggery or sugar through on a low flame — no boil after jaggery or it turns grainy.

  4. 4

    Finish with cardamom, fried cashews and raisins; serve warm.

Chef's tip

Mithai rewards low heat and clean pans; rush nothing.
