Mango Payasam

 

 

Here’s a yummy mango payasam recipe for Vishu feast! Both the recipe and pictures were contributed by Manju Jyothish. I just tasted it and it was awesome so thought of sharing it with you all..

 

Ingredients (Makes 6 servings)

  1. Sweet ripe mangoes – 3 (Peel off the skin and cut to pieces)
  2. Mango pulp – 1/4 – 1/2 tin or 1 cup
  3. Dried mango – 1/2 cup (optional)
  4. Jaggery / brown sugar –  3 – 4 cubes / 1/4 cup / to taste
  5. Dried ginger powder / chukku podi – 1/4 tsp
  6. Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
  7. Fresh coconut milk – Around 1.5 cup (Mix 1/2 a can of coconut milk with enough water)
  8. Cashews – 2 tbsp
  9. Raisins – 2 tbsp
  10. Thenga kothu / sliced coconut – 1.5 tbsp
  11. Ghee – 1 tbsp

Method

1.  Pressure cook the mango pieces adding about 1 cup water (or just enough water to cover them) for 1 whistle.

2. Chop the dried mango into small pieces.Cook them in enough water until done. Stir in the jaggery and mix well. Now add the pressure-cooked mango to this and cook  well (varattuka). Stir continuously otherwise it will stick to the bottom. Now add the mango pulp and slowly cook until it reaches a thick golden consistency. Now add dried ginger powder, cardamom powder and mix well. Stir for a few seconds. Now bring down the heat and add coconut milk slowly while stirring. Cook for 2-3 minutes at low heat, stirring continuously. Do not let it boil otherwise it will curdle. Remove from stove.

3. Heat ghee in a  pan. Add the sliced coconut and fry until golden brown. Drain on to a paper towel. Fry the raisins and cashews. Pour the ghee and fried items over the payasam. Close with a lid for at least 15 minutes. This payasam tends to thicken over time. Serve warm or chilled.
