About Cup of payasam
Cup of payasam is a traditional South Indian dessert made primarily from milk, jaggery or sugar, and rice, semolina, or vermicelli, often garnished with nuts, raisins, and a touch of cardamom for flavor. Occasionally, coconut milk or lentils like moong dal are used, offering a rich and creamy texture. Payasam originates from Indian cuisine, particularly linked to festivals and celebrations, symbolizing prosperity and sweetness in life. From a nutritional perspective, its ingredients offer a mix of energy, carbs, and some protein. The nuts contribute healthy fats, while jaggery provides trace minerals compared to refined sugar. However, it is sweetened and calorie-rich, so portion control is key. Opting for low-fat milk or moderating sweeteners can improve its health profile while retaining its authentic taste. Enjoyed in moderation, it’s a comforting treat and a cultural delight.
