Delicious Broken Wheat Payasam is a healthy and an easy dessert to prepare. The combination of jaggery, Coconut milk, clove and a hint of Cardamom powder makes it Scrumptious. This dessert is commonly prepared in our household for almost all auspicious occasions. In this recipe I have added few more dry fruits other than cashews and raisins to enhance taste. It’s purely your choice to exclude or include any of these dry fruits.
