Gothambu Payasam is a traditional, tasty dessert made by simmering broken wheat with jaggery syrup & garnished with nuts & flavours. Gothambu Payasam is made for religious festivals, special occasions, Onam Sadhya and relished after meal. Gothambu Payasam is a nice alternate to the regular payasam & healthy too.
Gothambu Payasam is one of the special payasam recipes that we can make for Onam.I have just started to post Onam Recipes, not much of recipes this year as I have posted most of them already……so just few of the missed recipes.I haven’t experimented much with broken wheat, I make upma or kanji with it but never knew a payasam can be made with broken wheat until I saw it in a Onam Sadya Menu.I love the addition of coconut pieces in this payasam which adds a good amount of crunch while eating, so don’t miss to add it.

HI
I just made this payasam the way it was.
But I observed 2 things-> when we add milk and cook,i felt the milk was getting cracked up.
Is milk really important ?
I think only coconut milk will be enough?

You can add just coconut milk also your preference only but do not boil for more time after coconut milk is added
