Wash the crushed bamboo rice in water for 2-3 times and put this in a cooker. Add broken cashew nuts, around 6-7 cups think coconut water and cook them well. (After one whistle, keep this in low/medium flame for about 15 - 20 mins.) Once the pressure goes off, put 2 cups of thin coconut milk to a cooked bamboo rice, add jaggery, pinch of salt and bring it to boil.

Keep this in low flame for about 10-15 mins until jaggery dissolves.

Add thick coconut milk, stir the Payasa and bring it to boil. Add the mashed cardamom, cloves and keep the Payasa in low flame for about 1-2 mins.
