Notes
Tips for Khus Khus Payasam
1. Always roast the poppy seeds well to get rid of the raw smell. Also, roast it in low flame to avoid burning. 2. For easy grinding, poppy seeds can be soaked in warm water for 30 minutes and then grinded. 3. Instead of almonds, 2 tbsp of raw rice or basmati rice can be used. 4. First, grind the poppy seeds without adding water, otherwise it wont turn smooth. 5. Adjust jaggery as per sweetness required for this Gasagase Payasa Recipe. 6. If you doubt the jaggery you use is impure, filter and then use it. I used pure and organic jaggery, so didn't filter. 7. For more richness, 1/2 cup of warm milk can be added at last. 8. This payasam thickens with time, so adjust with warm water or milk before serving.
