Tender Coconut Payasam Ingredients
Tender Coconut - Tender coconut flesh differs from mature coconuts, which are brown with hairy shells and have firm, opaque white flesh. Young coconut meat, on the other hand, can be eaten on its own, in salads, or in other dishes. Both tender coconut flesh and water is used in the recipe.
Sweetened Condensed Milk - Sweetened condensed milk is cooked until it thickens and becomes a creamy pudding that can be used in a variety of dessert recipes. It makes the kheer so creamy.
Milk - for any kheer or payasam recipes, use best quality full fat milk. It provides smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It acts as a thickener. Milk gives kheer its taste and flavour.
Cardamom Powder - ground cardamom provides a lovely aroma and flavour to the dish.

Hi, this looks so delicious. I want to try it today. Just one question. You use only half of the coconut water to make the blended mix. When do you add the remain half to the kheer?
