About Aval payasam

Aval Payasam is a traditional South Indian dessert made primarily with flattened rice (aval or poha), jaggery, and milk. Originating from Indian cuisine, it is a popular dish prepared during festivals and special occasions. Aval Payasam combines simple, wholesome ingredients such as flattened rice, rich in carbohydrates, jaggery, which provides natural sweetness and essential minerals, and milk, offering calcium and protein. It is often flavored with aromatic cardamom and garnished with cashews and raisins sautéed in ghee. While the dish is nutritious due to its use of natural sweeteners and milk, moderation is advised due to the use of ghee and jaggery, which can make it calorie-dense. Aval Payasam is a comforting dessert that showcases the balance between traditional flavors and nutritional elements, making it a meaningful treat in Indian households.
