Healthy and tasty.My son love payasams!(even i)but I only use to make semiya payasam and rice kheer!This one while making he was asking me why are you making payasam with carrot and i was like oh no!But as usual he loved it !Yeah so it’s a success.Hubby too loved it!

For preparing this, grate carrots and apple then saute it with in ghee along with some sugar then cook it in milk and sugar.Its yum and simple.There is no much effort like normal payasam!Also added boiled sago!

Method

1. Soak sago and cook it and keep it aside.
2. Grate carrots and apples.

7. Then add the carrot puree, boiled sago ,cardamom and cook for a while stirring frequently.Switch off the flame when it comes to the desired consistency!The kheer will be ready within 30 minutes.

Note : If you don’t want to see the grated carrots pulse it all after sauteing it and cook with the milk.
You can also add milkmaid instead of sugar.
If you don’t like sago add boiled vermicelli.It will be more tastier!

Serve it warm or cool!
