Note :
Let same cook nicely. It helps same to mix with coconut milk nicely. I have used organic jaggery. If you are using market bought jaggery, melt jaggery completely and then sieve it with strainer and then add then use clean jaggery. Adding more or less jaggery is optional. You can grind coconut with little water and a spoon of soaked raw rice till paste and then you can add it to boiling payasa mixture. ( Instead of coconut milk). Remember to use fresh and moisture coconut for payasa. Adding nuts according to your taste.Time : 30 Minutes.
