Godhuma rava payasam is our recent favorite payasam, made with broken wheat, jaggery and milk as main ingredients.
Last year, when we saw samba godhumai rava in Mustafa, Vj told it will be nice if we make payasam with it. So I thought of trying it and bought. From then, I have made many a times, though more like a godhumai sweet kanji type. Why I say kanji because, I prepare without cardamom and cashew nuts as Vj doesn’t like both. I make it with sugar too. And less milk.
Since this Friday Tamizh new year is coming up, thought of posting this special payasam as Tamil New year recipe.

Serve warm. Great taste, flavour and texture too!
Looks like a very easy recipe…the texture looks more like javvarisi payasam, which is my favorite…lovely props and great clicks as usual Raji:)
Hi, Can we add sago to this payasam????
Hi…we get lapsi rava here(bigger variety)..can it be done with that??
Yes, you can sure 🙂
Yes you can sure do. Just make sure to cook softly before adding jaggery.
Thank you 🙂
I tried it. It's awesome
Nice shot… And must try recipe 🙂
I like to try this payasam . As per your recipe notes, if we can replace coconut milk instead of milk,how many cups of coconut milk we need for this recipe of 1/4 cup godhuma Rava? Could you pls suggest me the ratio of grated coconut : water to extract coconut milk for this recipe measures? Not going to use milk. We don’t get whole coconut here(only fresh Grated coconut we get). Pls help with my query. Look forward to your reply akka. Thank you
You can use same amount of coconut milk that is one cup. Use one whole coconut, grind with luke warm water (1/2 cup) and extract milk. Measure and top with water to make it 1 cup in total. Add coconut milk only after switching off the stove. Mix well and again switch on stove in low heat to just heat it up. gets spoiled quickly, so consume within hour or keep refrigerated.
