Health Mix Payasam:
Malted Raagi Payasam. Barley Payasam. Sprouted Wheat Payasam. Healthy Payasam.
Health Mix is something that mommy used to prepare, when we (myself & my brother) were kids. I am not sure about the long lengthy ingredients she used to sneak into it! Well, I should have asked her! I recollected few of the stuff, she used to mention tho’. But otherwise for the convenience sake…I just used the ‘ready made’ health mix available in the market today (from India). The brand read as ‘Manna Health Mix’…somewhat okay, but definitely not so good like Mommy’s Health Mix!!
Ingredients:
Health Mix may Contain Following Ingredients and Much More
Sprouted Raagi flour (finger millet)
Bajra
Malted Barley
Sprouted wheat
Varieties of millets
Cashew nuts
Almonds
Cardamom
Saffron
Health mix 6-8 spoons
Farm fresh whole milk 4 cups
Almonds 10 (skinned) crushed
Sugar to taste (I used 4 spoons)
Ghee few spoons
Nuts and Raisins to garnish.
Method:
In a heavy bottomed vessel, heat ghee. Fry the nuts and raisin…set aside.
In the same pan, add sugar plus water…heat till they form into thick syrup.
Now add 3 cups of milk and crushed almonds to it…continue boiling.
Heat the other cup of milk in the microwave…so, to this luke warm milk, add the health mix powder. Mix well without any lumps.
Now run this…in the boiling milk above…continue cooking over low heat. Once the raw odour leaves the pan, and nice aroma fills in the room…remove from heat and chill the same.
Garnish with nuts and raisins. Enjoy.

Hi Malar, Happy deepavali
that’s one interesting payasam mix!
Payasam seems truly healthy. Can’t forget those days when mom’s made the health drink at home. A very healthy diwali treat. Love it.
My grandma used to share with me her Raagi kanji (I agree it was not like your paayaassam) and I never liked Raagi since. If only someone prepared it this way, there’d have been no way to say “NO”
this one is rich, nutritious and delicious; a nice healthy version of the paayaassam.
that’s a nice treat for diwali!
