its been a while before i posted this recipe. i guess many from karnataka have wondered and have searched for this recipe in my blog and also via google and may have disappointed to not find it. it’s a valid disappointment as i come from karnataka and do not post it, it is unusual. as matter of fact, even i did not realise it unless my mother asked for this recipe. i did not have any link to share it with her like i always had it. that was an eye-opener for me as i realised i have not posted quite a few recipes which are native and so close to me, yet i have not posted those recipes. i started to list those and i got a lot of them. i have already posted quite a few this week and last week. continuing this series i am posting the kannada cuisine gasagase payasa recipe.

furthermore, i would like to add some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the gasagase payasa recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have shown 2 ways to prepare this creamy payasam recipe. i personally like the recipe made out of jaggery or bella. the main reason is that i feel healthy and no guilt with the sweetness of jaggery. hence i would recommend the same compared to the sugar one. secondly, again with the 2 recipes i have used the coconut milk differently. in one recipe, i have used coconut milk directly and the other one used raw coconut grounded with poppy seeds. i feel using coconut milk is much easier compared to grounding. lastly, you may experiment with this recipe by adding a choice of additional toppings to it. you may add sabudana, raisins, cashew nuts, almonds, pista, walnuts and even melon seeds.
