Paal Payasam | Rice Kheer

Paal Payasam Recipe | Rice Kheer Pecipe | പാല്‍ പായസം 

Preparation time: 5 minutes 
Cooking time: 1 hour 
Serves 4-6
Recipe source: amma (payasam in picture made by bedhamma, her sis)

INGREDIENTS  :

• Milk - 500 ml (2 cups) 
• Sugar - 1/2 cup (adjust to taste) 
• Raw rice/ Unakkalari - 1/4 cup

INSTRUCTIONS : 

• Add 2 cups water to the milk and bring to boil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once the milk boils, add the sugar and simmer until it reduces to half. 

• Add the washed rice and continue to cook on very low flame, stirring frequently until the milk thickens further and the rice is cooked soft. 

•  Remove and serve warm / chilled. 

NOTES :

• For a quick paal payasam (rice kheer), just add all ingredients (don't add water) to a pressure cooker and cook for 2-3 whistles. When the pressure leaves, open the lid, add 2-4 tbsp of condensed milk and bring to boil before removing from fire and serving. Adjust sugar accordingly since the condensed milk will make it too sweet if you use the same amount of sugar used otherwise
• Adding anything else to the payasam like cardamom pods or cashew nuts will distract you from the actual flavour that's meant to be pure milk so keep it simple folks
