Coconut Milk Payasam

My mom used to make this coconut milk payasam during festivals. We recently went to Batam, Indonesia. My husband ordered a dessert called 'Kolak Pisang'. I was first freaked out to try the dessert. But, he assured me that it's tasty. It exactly tasted like coconut milk kheer with banana pieces. We both loved the dessert and I tried it once at home. Here's the simple recipe of Kolak Pisang.



Ingredients:

1. Coconut milk- 2 cups
2. Banana- 1
3. Jaggery- half cup

Method:

1. Freshly made coconut milk is always better. If not available, use the store bought ones. Grind scrapped coconut with water and extract the milk. Keep it aside.

2. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp water. Add the jiggery and heat until the jaggery melts.

3. Once melted, filter the jaggery syrup. This will ensure the impurities are filtered out. Add the filtered syrup again to the pan and heat in low flame.

4. Now add the coconut milk and boil in very low flame for 5-10 minutes.

5. Add chopped bananas to the payasam. You can even add mashed banana.



 Serve hot or cold. We loved it hot.

Noted:

1. Can replace jaggery with sugar.
2. Can add nuts roasted in ghee for desi touch.
3. Can skip bananas or replace with jackfruit.
