Notes

1. I felt the payasam was a little sweeter, maybe the dates are too sweet. If you feel the dates are too sweet, either you add extra milk while boiling or lessen the number of dates.
2. You can add ghee roasted finely chopped dates along with cashew nuts.
3. I have tried adding dates paste to the hot milk and cooking for 2-3 mins on low flame.
4. But few of them told me it is getting curdled, so better to add it when the milk is cool or at least warm.
5. Ghee-roasted coconut bits can also be added to this dates payasam.
