While making the recipe, milk always needs your attention, as it easily tends to get boiled and overflowed. So, always keep an eye, when the payasam on the stovetop. If you are the multitasking person, please sacrifices fewer tasks while making :).

How to make Aval payasam

1. Soak aval/poha in water for about 20-30 min. Drain and keep aside. Perfectly soaked aval would be very soft, moist and nonstick.

2. Bring milk to boil by adding sugar, add the soaked and drained aval.

3. In the low flame cooks it further for 10-12 mins.

4. In the meantime, add ghee to a pan followed by chopped cashews and raisins. Fry it in the medium flame until raisins swell like a ball. Add this sizzling to the milk.

5. Add vanilla extract and remove it from the fire. Need to be very cautious while handling the milk as it tends to easily overflow.
