This recipe was taken from Akila’s Kitchen while I was looking at the Roundup for Ramya’s event for Pasta. Payasam made from Pasta.. amazing concept. I tried it last weekend adding some of my ingredients… Carrots and whole wheat pasta made it a bit less guilty.It was sincerely one of the most amazing dessert I have had ever … Trust me it was so so so yum… S said its the taste from heaven ”:P”, he is so comic sometimes :)…. But this could be the true definition for this delicacy. So I just waited to post it as my 100th post to celebrate the moment .. yohooo !!
Ingredients:
1. 2 cups Pasta ( I used whole wheat )
2. 1 can of condensed milk ( I used the low fat version )
3. 4 medium sized carrots , grated
4. 2 cup water + Water for boiling pasta
5. 1 tsp ghee
6. Sugar to taste, if required ( I didnt use any )
7. Cashews to garnish
8. 3-4 strands of Saffron + 2 tsp milk
9. 2 cups milk ( I used skimmed )
10. A pinch of cardamom powder.
Method:
1. Boil enough water to cook pasta and bring to a boil. Add pasta to it and cook as packet instructions. Drain and keep aside.
2. In a pan, heat ghee and roast cashews in it . Keep aside.
3. Dip saffron strands in 2 tsp warm milk. Keep aside.
4. Now, heat remaining milk in a pan. When it starts boiling, add carrot to it and cook covered on a low flame for 5-6 min. The carrot should just be tendered not mushy.
5. Add the 2 cups water and condensed milk can. Keep the flame low and keep stirring. You can add sugar at this point if you want. I didnt use any and it was perfectly sweet coz of condensed milk and carrots.
6. When its simmered for few minutes and got a bit thicker, add cooked pasta and cardamom powder to it. Simmer for 5 more min. Add the saffron + milk and stir, then turn off.
7. Garnish with roasted cashews.
Notes:
1. This was comforting when hot and heavenly when chilled. You can have it both ways, just adjust the milk quantity as it will get thicker when chilled.
