Ilaneer Payasam

My cousin's wife made this when she invited us over dinner during our recent trip to India - I had my fill of her fabulous food and didn't really want to have dessert but when I tasted a little bit from my mom's bowl, I took to this payasam and had a bowlful of my own, minutes later. I asked her for the recipe and was amazed at how simple it was. This is something you can make in minutes if you have ilaneer (tender coconut water) on hand - no cooking required. Of course I don't get fresh ilaneer and so resorted to a frozen pack that I found and it had some pulp as well which gives a nice texture to the payasam... Thank you Sindhu anni for a yummy recipe.

ILANEER PAYASAM


Ingredients:
Ilaneer (Tender coconut water) - about 10 oz (with some pulp)
Cold Milk - half to 1 cup (adjust to required texture)
Condensed milk - 1/4 can or less (approx 100 ml) or to taste, depending on sweetness
Ghee - 1 tsp
Cashewnuts - 1 tbsp, chopped
Raisins - 1 tbsp

Method:
1) Chop the pulp of the tender coconut into small pieces and in a bowl blend ilaneer, milk and condensed milk. Adjust the milk and condensed milk to desired sweetness and texture. This is a watery payasam.

2) Heat ghee and toast cashews and raisins till golden and add to the payasam. Serve cold.

    DB, I haven't checked the nutrition info but coconut water is definitely lower calories that coconut milk.

    Thank you Vibaas, hope you do.

    Kamala, I got it in a Korean supermarket here in the frozen section (next to the grated coconut).

    Sujatha, Seema & Rachel - Thank you.

    What a coincidence Lavi.

    Arundathi - a lengthy recipe for it? this one was ready in 5 mins... :)

    Jayashree, I know what you mean, if I didn't taste a spoonful, I probably would've skipped this too and missed a good recipe.

    Thank you Srivalli, sireesha and Sia.

    Nags, I've not seen it restaurants before.. good to know.

    Rajitha, definitely good for the summer ... :) Let me know if your mom likes it.

    Thank you Nithu, Richa & Sangeeth.

    Dhivya, i was surprised too when I first had a taste.

    Suma & Tee - Thanks.
