A Dry Mix for Gasa-Gase Payasam

Cumbersome method of preparation and short shelf-life restrict the commercial marketability of gasa-gase payasam, a traditional sweet delicacy of Kamataka prepared using poppy (Papaver somniferum) seeds. Therefore, a dry mix was prepared for gasa-gase payasam in a convenient way; the mix kept well for over 6 months at room temperature when packed in polyethylene ponches.
