This is one of those dishes that make me wonder why some things are only made for festivals. This kheer is something that we traditionally make for Ganesh Chaturthi.
1/2 cup Cashewnuts, broken to bits
1/2 cup Bengal Gram Dal (Chana Dal)
1/2 cup Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Jaggery, grated
1/4 cup Rice Flour
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
Cook the bengal gram dal and the cashews in a pressure cooker with 3 cups of water. To this, add the grated jaggery and coconut milk. Add about one more cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the cardamom powder.
Mix the rice flour with a little water and make a paste. Add this to the boiling mixture and cook until the mixture thickens.
This also goes to dear Asha as yet another entry for the RCI Karnataka event. I am also sending this to Latha for her Gowri Ganesh event.

ReplyDeleteReg.you query in my blog:
For adding the text on your picture you should be using applications like Corel Draw or Paintshop. You could get a trial version and try it.
I am sorry for the late (very late) reply. I have been held up with other things.
Lovely Raaga looks delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteEach dish is yummy: the paysaa, the ambat and avrya bendi! Great going, dear!
ReplyDeleteI have heard abt this from my M-I-L , probably i should try this for K, thanks for the recipe raaga!
ReplyDeleteJust to add to what Seec said, you could try GIMP or a trial version of photoshop, GIMP is free of cost and comes with help and also works as good as photoshop. I could send you the link if you are interested and want to give it a try
Payasams and I are not on talking terms :D - this payasa with kadalebele and coconut milk must taste more like a pudding though - perhaps i should try this chilled - thanks for the great entry.
