Grind the almond mixture with the coconut into a paste using a mortar and pestle.
Stir the water and jaggery together in a saucepan until the jaggery dissolves into the water to make a syrup. Stir the paste into the syrup, add the saffron and cardamom to the mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continually, boil and stir until thick. Serve hot, warm, or cold, depending on your preference.

Recipe Note

When I first visited my in-laws my mother-in-law had made gasagase payasa for us. I have been a huge fan of this dessert since then. I like it cold and thinned out with a little milk.
