Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of raw rice - washed thoroughly
- 5 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 3-4 cardamom crushed
- 2 tbsp of ghee/ clarified butter
- 1 tbsp of cashews
- 1 tbsp of raisins
- In a skillet, heat up the ghee. Now fry the cashews and raisins in it . Keep it aside.
- In the pressure cooker, take the cleaned rice, milk, cardamom and sugar. Place it on the stove on low heat.
- Let it cook on low flame untill the first whistle goes off. Remove it from the heat and let the pressure subside.
- Open the lid and give it a stir. The rice would have cooked by now and it would be a little creamy but not too thick.
- Garnish it with cashews and raisins.
- Serve it hot or cold.
- If you find the payasam to be too thick. Add some more milk and bring it to a boil on high heat. Adjust the sweetness and turn down the heat to low and let the milk thicken a bit. It shouldn't be too runny not too thick. Remove it from the heat. The payasam would thicken a bit after it cools down.
I also make my paal payasam in a similar way. Haven't made it since long, gotto put it on plan next weekend...
