Recipe Notes 

I have used foxtail millet poha / Thinai Aval in this recipe. 

You can also replace it with any other millet poha. Instead of condensed milk, you can also add quarter cup of sugar or any unrefined sugar in this payasam. 

Apart from cashews, you can also add almonds, pistas and raisins
