firstly, in a large kadai heat 2 tbsp ghee and roast 5 cashew, 2 tsp raisins
roast until they turn golden brown and keep aside
in the same ghee add ½ cup aval (poha) and roast on low flame
keep roasting till the aval (poha) turns golden brown
now add 3 cup milk and mix well
boil on medium flame for 10 minutes or till aval softens
now in another pan take ¼ cup jaggery. if you are using sugar then directly add to kheer without melting
add ¼ cup water and dissolve jaggery
filter the jaggery water to remove any impurities present
now keeping the flame on low stir well. get the aval paysam to a boil on low flame. do not over boil as there are chances for milk to curdle once jaggery is added.
turn off the flame and add ¼ cardamom powder and roasted dry fruit
finally, serve aval paysam hot or chilled
