Paal Payasam Recipe | Rice Kheer







































Paal payasam is a traditional Indian dessert served for any occasion or festival. Most of our south Indian feast will never get completes without this delicious classic dessert.
Tamil New Year is on its way, so I have planned to post this classic Paal Payasam in my blog to celebrate the New Year. Wishing you all very happy and prosperous New Year!

Actually the original recipe requires cooking of rice in milk in an open pan for long time, here I am giving you a easy and quick method of making Paal Payasam with pressure cooker method, however you don’t need to compromise on taste…it tastes equally delicious.



Ingredients:

Basmati Rice – 1 tablespoon
Milk – ½ litre
Water – 2 cup
Nuts and Raisins – as required
Sugar – 3/4 cup
Ghee – 1 tablespoon
Cardamom – 2 nos.


Method:











Heat a pan with a table spoon of ghee then fry nuts, raisins and keep it aside.
In the remaining ghee add the washed and well drained rice and fry for 1 minute.








Add a cup of water and a cup of milk and pressure cook for 2 whistles.








Once the pressure releases, open the pan and add remaining milk, cardamon powder, sugar, fried nuts and raisins.
Simmer the flame and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, This Payasam will thicken when it is cooled down so switch off accordingly.
Note: To get creamy texture, you can add the rice by grinding it coarsely in a mixer.

Seru Paruppu Payasam

       For Varalakshmi Vratham, I made this seru paruppu payasam... It's nothing but moong dal kheer.
Here the variation is we add Sago to this kheer, which makes this recipe more delicious and gives superb texture.

Ingredients:

Moong dal - 1 cup
Sago - 1/4 cup
Coconut sliced - 1/4 cup
Jaggery - 3/4 cup
Cardamon powder - 1/4 tsp
Nuts  - 1 tsbsp
Ghee -3 tbsp.

Method:

Pressure cook Moong dal, once it is cooked add Sago and pressure cook for 1 more whistle.
Heat jaggery with water and strain it to filter dust.
Add cardamom powder in filtered jaggery syrup.
And mix the Dal Sago to the jaggery syrup and allow to boil.
In the meanwhile fry coconut and nuts to golden color and add it to the boiling kheer.
Switch off before it thickens because once cooled it will get bit more thicker.
