Microwave Pasta Payasam - Re-posted for MEC Sweets n Savories

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!! this was the expression my makkal gave me when i said Pasta Payasam. Thought of trying it out on my own, without peeping the Net. Considering my experience with Microwave Cooking, coz its been only a month since i got my oven:), i was jus praying / bribing god to make the dish come good.
Thanks to God, It came out great.

Here's the recipe

Ingredients
One tight Fist Pasta (Small / Mini Variety) i think mine is called mini rigatte
1 cup milk
1 / 4 cup sugar
1 tbsp ghee (Call it healthy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
1 or 2 tbsp Dessicated coconut
cardamom, cinnamon - 1 / 4 tsp each

Garnishing Silvered Almonds and Cashewnuts

Method
In a Microwave Safe Deep Bowl add Ghee and pasta and Cook @ high for 2 minutes, this will actually roast the pata. Stir Inbetween.

Add Milk and Microwave high for 7-8 minutes or till the pasta cooks. Stir in between.
Add sugar and Microwave high/80 for 2 minutes
Add Cinnamon, Cardamom, Nuts and Coconut and microwave high for 2 minutes
Thats it, done, in 15 minutes.
