INGREDIENTS FOR  RICE COCONUT KHEER RECIPE WITH JAGGERY

Preparation Time : 20 mins  Cooking Time : 20 mins  Serves – 3

• 1/4 Cup of Basmathi Rice

METHOD FOR RICE COCONUT KHEER RECIPE WITH JAGGERY

• In a pressure cooker, add 1 tsp of ghee and roast the rice until nice aroma comes. You can grind the rice coarsely at this stage, this is optional. You can even cook the rice like I did. Add roasted rice and 1 cup of milk, cook it for 3 whistles. Open the cooker after pressure releases on its own, add the remaining milk and switch on the flame again.
• In the mean time, heat a pan with little water and jaggery, wait until it completely dissolves. Once you done and filter it. Keep it aside. In the same pan, add 1/2 tsp of ghee and add coconut, roast it and keep it aside.
• You keep on stirring the milk, after the milk turns thick,  add melted jaggery and stir well.
• Add coconut, remaining ghee, cardamom powder, saffron strands and roasted nuts, mix well. Once you done, turn off the flame.
• Chill the payasam in fridge and serve cold. You can also serve hot after full course south Indian meals.

 Tips

• More you add rice, thicker the payasam will be. So add it accordingly.
• You can also add fresh coconut bits instead of dessicated coconut.
• For sweetness, you can use either sugar or palm jaggery or jaggery.
• You can also use milkmaid instead of milk.
• Add nuts of your choice.
• Colour of payasam depends on the quality of jaggery.

Mysore pak is a rich Indian sweet dish made with besan flour, ghee and sugar. I love melt in mouth mysore pauk recipe than traditional mysorepa. This is my first attempt and a long time dream to make mysore pauk at home and it turned so good and tasty. Finally I made it today. Everyone think that making mysore pak at home is very tricky and difficult. Not at all, very easy though.  Usually experienced people do mysore pak with ease, but beginner hesitate to do ghee mysore pak because of sugar syrup single thread consistency. But this method of making soft mysore pauk is damn easy to do at home, just mix all the ingredients together in a pan and keep on stirring until you see big bubbles. Finally transfer this mixture to ghee greased plate. I added badam milk paste which does the trick and gives melt in mouth kind of mysore pak and tasted exactly like sree krishna sweets mysore pauk. Anyone can try this easy and soft badam mysore pauk recipe for diwali and surprise your family and friends. Happy Diwali to everyone.

How to make soft badam mysore pauk recipe at home

Tips

• Adjust sugar according to your taste. You can add sugar upto 3 cups. I felt 2.5 cups of sugar is enough.
• Please don’t reduce the ghee amount otherwise you won’t get melt in mouth taste.
• I used homemade besan flour to make mysore pak.
• You can also add some ground moong dal flour additional to besan flour to get a nice taste.
• If your mysore pa didn’t set well after 10 mins it means mixture didn’t cook enough. So please transfer it to a pan and keep stirring until you see larger bubbles, then transfer it to ghee greased plate. This repair method works for me.
• Don’t cook it for longer time, then mysore pak turns very hard.
