Godhi Kuttida Payasa

Simple payasas are one of the most satisfying sweets out there. Our good old South Indian payasa/payasams are so wholesome. Even though they are sweet, they are filled with nutrition especially the ones made with jaggery. Rich in minerals and fibre, this godhi kuttida payasa or daliya payasa is one of the best.
Godhi kuttida payasa is whole wheat daliya, jaggery mixed with a freshly ground paste of coconut and poppy seeds. Almonds and cashews add richness and raisins add fun to this payasa. And what better than ghee and milk to further enrich this wonderful ‘food of the gods’! A bowlful of this payasa is actually food for the soul.


You can choose to add store-bought organic coconut milk to make it easier and save you a little work. Some freshly pounded elaichi popped straight out of the pods will make the godhi kuttida payasa very fragrant and flavourful. I made this payasa for Varamahalakshmi Vratha pooje last year. The time has finally come to post this recipe close to Shravana month of this year.
