aval payasam | poha kheer | atukula payasam is payasam or kheer made with aval or poha. In this recipe, I have used thick aval. and dates for sweetness. You can use thin poha or aval, but you cannot get the grainy texture of poha or aval as we get using the thick aval. Among all other payasam recipes, This is the one that is prepared within 15 minutes. And also it is considered healthier than other payasam. For Gokul Ashtami, this payasam will be turned into a good neivedhyam as it has aval or poha. Whenever we want to make a quick dessert at home, this will be done in 10 -15 minutes. Because it doesn’t need any soaking, pre-pressure cooking, or anything.

Instead of dates, you can add 1/4 cup jaggery or sugar. If you are adding jaggery, you can melt it with 1/4 cup of water, and strain straight away into the kheer. For a change, you can add a tsp of rosewater or 2 drops of rose essence instead of cardamom powder. Using full cream milk makes the kheer smooth and creamy, So I prefer full cream milk to make this payasam
