For garnish (optional)

  • Few slices of cherries and apple
  • 3 to 4 almonds

Method

  • Switch off the gas and let it rest for half an hour.
  • Switch on the flame and stir for few minutes.
  • At this stage add condensed milk and cook for 5 minutes stirring continuously.
  • Remove from gas and add the desiccated coconut. Mix well with the payasam and allow it to cool.
