1. Ripe banana - 1 small fruit (mine weighed 54 grams with skin) 
2. Milk - 150 ml 
3. Grated / Shredded coconut - 2 spoons 
4. Vanilla essence - 2 drops 
5. Cardamom pods - 2 (crushed)
6. Sugar - 4 spoons (or as per taste) 

PREPARATION METHOD

• Skin banana and grate using a grater. (Do not use mushy ripe bananas, just ripe yet firm bananas will be perfect for the recipe)
• Now pour milk into a saucepan and place on flame. After it boils, add sugar stir well, then add the crushed cardamom pods. 
• Once the sugar gets dissolved and when you smell the aroma of cardamom pods add the grated banana and stir well for few seconds. 
• Add vanilla essence, mix well and remove from flame. 
• Serve warm or cold!!

TIP 1: You can make the payasam richer by adding condensed milk while preparation. Add it after adding the grated coconut. 

TIP 2: You can add chopped nuts to the payasam. Roast the nuts and raisins in ghee and add it to the payasam before removing from flame. 

TIP 3: Do not add too much of banana then the kheer will become mushy and wont have the drinking consistency.
