aval payasam recipe | avalakki paysa | atukula payasam | how to make aval payasam with detailed photo and video recipe. a simple south indian milk based dessert recipe prepared with rice flakes or poha and jaggery. it is a traditional milk kheer recipe prepared mainly during the festival seasons or as part of celebration feast. it is basically an extended version of kheer recipe prepared with jaggery.

aval payasam recipe | avalakki paysa | atukula payasam | how to make aval payasam with step by step photo and video recipe. south indian cuisine deals with several dessert recipes which are either categorised as kheer or payasam. it can be prepared with various choice of ingredients ranging from rice, lentils, semiya and also dry fruits. but this recipe of kheer is prepared from avla/poha which is also known as flat rice flakes.

the recipe i have shared is a basic version of aval payasam or aval kheer. and in this recipe, i have used melted jaggery syrup in the place of sugar which as a matter fact keeps this recipe in the payasam category. moreover, i wanted to share a kheer/payasam recipe without sugar as i was getting several requests for the same. but you need to take some precautions while using jaggery and mixing it with milk or as a matter of fact with any milk-based desserts. basically do not mix the room temperature jaggery directly with milk as there are high chances that milk may curdle. hence i made sure the jaggery is melted and maintained the same temperature as milk before mixing. the other easy option is to mix sugar directly which i have shown in my previous kheer recipes anyway.

furthermore some tips, recommendations and variations while preparing the aval payasam recipe. firstly, i have used thick poha or aval for this recipe and i heavily recommend the same to use. the thin and medium poha can easily dissolve in milk and thus you may not have any crunchy effects from the kheer. secondly, i have used fresh full cream milk for this recipe. but this can be extended and replaced with thick coconut milk too. i personally like the cows milk, but coconut milk is also an option. lastly, the atukula payasam can be served warm or chilled based on your preference. if you are serving it next day, make sure to add milk and maintain the consistency.
