This is a very tasty payasam and a healthy one too.
The texture is quite different from the regular payasam as we use the whole
wheat rava and the flavour is enhanced by using coconut milk.

PREPARATION
Heat the ghee in a pan, add cashews and raisins and
saute till the cashew turn golden brown. Take out the cashew and raisins and
keep aside.
Now add the rava to the remaining ghee and saute on
low flame till a good flavour comes out
Now add water to it and cook on medium flame till it
is well cooked. Add more water if necessary.
When all the moisture is absorbed and the rava is
cooked completely, add the jaggery and continue to cook in low flame. Mix well
First the jaggery will dilute the consistency of the
payasam , but on continuous cooking, it will start to thicken. Now switch off
the fire.
Let it cool a little.
Now add the thin coconut milk, mix well. Now add the
thick coconut milk and cardamom powder. Mix well
Pour the fried cashew and raisins on this
Transfer this to the serving bowl and serve
